Mail Merge and Directories

[fez]

Hello -

Is there anyway to create a directory using the mail merge feature in word
2003 within the same document as the mail merge template? Step 6 og 6 in the
mail merge process only allows the merge to happen "To New Document".

Thanks!

Why would you want to make the mail merge main document useless by filling
it up with merge results?

The goal is to merge select data stored in Excel (many rows and columns of
data) into various sections of a word document as tables.

The mail merge process works great, except people don't like cutting and
pasting the merge results into the various sections of the document in Word -
it takes too much time and introduces opportunities for error.

Is there a better approach - other than using mail merge?

Thanks for your help.
