Default Mail Merging Catalog into an existing Word Table

I have access data which I want to mail merge into an existing invoice
template used in my company. Basically, I want all the records that
have the same customer invoice number to go on the same invoice sheet

Using mail merge with a catlog and some MERGESEQ and IF statements...

{if {mergesec}="1" " PAGE BREAK
{mergefield proj_#}
{mergefield proj_man}
{mergefield WR}
{mergefield Company}
{mergfield Address}
{mergefield Customer_invoice#}"}{set invoice1{mergefield customer
invoice#}}
{if{invoice1}{invoice2}" PAGE BREAK
{mergefield proj_#}
{mergefield proj_man}
{mergefield WR}
{mergefield Company}
{mergfield Address}
{mergefield Customer_invoice#}
{mergefield details}"
"{mergefield details}"}{set invoice2{mergefield customer_invoice#}}


...I have managed to get the data to collate accordingly in a blank
document. but I want to get it to mail merge into this existing invoice
template. - I have tried using form letters, but this just prints a new
invoice for each individual job, so instead of one form, I have 5!.

Any ideas on how I can manipulate the coding etc to utilise form
letters or using the catalog method into an exisiting form?

Cheers
