How can I create a table of merged data? eg row for each entry
Use a catalog (or in Word XP and later, it is called "directory") type
mailmerge main document in which you have just a one row table with the mergefields in the cells of that table. There must be nothing else in the document other than the single ¶ after the table that you cannot delete. When you execute that merge to a new document which is the only possible destination, that new document will contain a table with a row of data for each record in the data source. -- Hope this helps.

I noticed that you said that there could be nothing else in this document.
I'm trying to create a course listing per instructor so that there is a title page and informaton for each instructor and then the course listing in a table. Is this doable. I've managed to do this without a table but I want the table included. Thanks in advance for you help "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: Use a catalog (or in Word XP and later, it is called "directory") type mailmerge main document in which you have just a one row table with the mergefields in the cells of that table.
