MailMerge and tables

Hi all

I am producing an email directory for work and I have an excel of the data.
I tried to mailmerge the data in to a word document and have each record in
a cell within a table. It looked good until I hit merged fields and I found
I had a page full of the first record and then the 2nd page was a table full
of the second record.

Is there a way to have the next record in the next cell etc ?

Set it up as a Labels merge, which is designed to do just this. You'll have
to select (or design or modify) a label format that matches your page
layout.
