mail merge directory creating page breaks
Hi,
I am trying to create a handout for a poster session that includes titles and authors for each poster listed on a single page. The data is in Excel 2007 and I am using Word 2007 to do the merge. I have tried using the Directory merge, but it keeps inserting a page break between each record. I can't get them all on the same page. Can anyone help? I've tried saving the source data as Excel 2003 and tab-delimited text, and I get the same problem. Thanks, Thad |

mail merge directory creating page breaks
Assuming that you have set the mail merge main document correctly for a
Directory type merge operation (on the Mailings tab of the Ribbon, in the Start Mail Merge section, click on the Start Mail Merge pulldown and select Directory), in the mail merge main document, insert a one row table into the cells of which you insert the required merge fields. You must have nothing else in that document other than anything that you want to be repeated for each record in the data source. Then when you execute that merge to a new document, that document will contain a table with a row of data for each record in the data source. -- Hope this helps.
