Default A 2 cell table on each page

Thanks Doug. That is what I thought. Very helpful.

In Word XP, the name was changed from catalog to directory. Seems like
Outlook may not have caught up yet.

Thanks Suzanne.
I begin the merge in OL where I click Tools/Mail Merge which brings up

the
Mail Merge Contacts dialog box. At the bottom of it one is to select

the
"Type of Document". I think this is where you were suggesting I select
"Directory" instead of "Letter". Is that correct?
Actually the only options I had we

Form letters
Mailing Labels
Envelopes and
Catalog

But when I selected "Catalog" which seems a bit like a directory, it

worked
nicely. Is that what you were referring to? Or is there a better way?

Use a "Directory" merge instead of "Letter."

I am using Word 2003, and am doing a merge from OL using a simple

existing
document file which contains a 2 Cell table with one merge field in

the
first cell and another merge field in the second. When I press

"Merge
to
new document" it sends each record to a separate page, creating a

separate
2
Cell table on each of 129 pages. If I place the cursor at the end

of
the
second cell and press delete, it brings the next table up to the

former
page
as I desire. However, I do not want to do that 129 times every time

I
run
the merge.

What do I need to do to get it to come out as 1 table with 129 rows
instead
of 129 tables? Thanks for the help.
