How do I create a catalog in word 2007 from data in excel?
I am trying to create a catalog of information on different systems that will
include page numbering for the whole document and a Table of Contents. I have the data in an excel spreadsheet and thought it would be straightforward using mail merge in word. However, the final merged document still behaves as a series of individual documents. I cannot get the document to number from 1-128. It keeps numbering 1-3 ( the number of pages that it took to document each separate system). |

Use a Directory type mail merge main document.

How do I do that? It would be easier.
I did figure out a work-around. After merging the documents into one long document, I did a find and replace and replaced the section breaks with a manual page break. This broke the numbering by section. "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: Use a Directory type mail merge main document. -- Hope this helps.

I found the directory, but it causes problems with the outline numbering in
my document. What I need to happen is to format ALL the footers in the document to link to the previous so that the page numbering will sequence. "Millieac" wrote: How do I do that?
