"Directory" in Mail Merge?

[Ghitorni]

In the Mail Merge Wizard, I see a Directory word appear. After merge it
splits pages between entries. If this is the default setting, what purpose
does it serve. Can this behaviour be changed? Or does MS have some different
meaning in mind for Directory?
Thanks

Directory creates a single document, did you add a page or section break
after the address block?

Hi Ghitorni,

The page break will only be inserted if that's what you already have in your document. To see what you can do with this kind of
mailmerge, check out my tutorial at:

Hello,

I am having the same problem...did you figure out how to fix this?? It wont
create a directory list, just one listing per page. Very annoying!! Would
appreciate any insight you may have
Thanks
