Default Mail merge query...

I am new to mail merge and have a club newsletter to go out which is in A4
size. I would like each club members name to be printed at the top of the
sheet so that when the merge has completed, all club members will have a
letter with their name printed on the top.

I have managed to do this, however, after the merge has completed, instead
of each copy starting on a fresh page, it automatically starts from the end
of the note so I'm having to edit each one individually to push them down to
the start of the new page.

What do I need to do to rectify this or cant this be one?

Thanks for your help .

It sounds as though you have set the merge document type to Directory. It
needs to be Letter. Thgen merge to a new document (or to the printer). See
