Default Merge a list of items onto a line

Hi Graham,
It seems to work, however I don't want the comma at the last record and when I try to put some text at the end it repeats for each record. What I want to have happened is the following:

A, B, C are the selected items on the list.

Thanks again.

Create a directory/catalog merge and put the field(s) on the same line. Add
a comma and a space, but do not press enter. The fields will follow one
another wrapping to the margin.

You will need to remove the final comma and add the text after executing the
merge.
