Word - Merge many records

[Guest]

I have a Merge set up. It is a table with about 750 records. How can I get
it to continue to the Next Record? Currently, I have the document set up
with rows taking up 6 pages. It merges, then starts over, but I have to
delete the section breaks and headers (after the 1st one) on the final.
I tried just havingone record and Next Record, and it merged them all, but
each on a separate page.
How can I have Word merge all 750 records into a table, one record each line
so it just follows along, merging till all 750 are done, about 18 pages?
Thanks.

Use a catalog, or in Word XP and later it is called a directory type
mailmerge with the mergefields in the cells of a one row table in the main
document with nothing else it the document.

Alternatively, change your existing main document to a label type rather
than a formletter type maindocument.

Before you merge to a new document, change table to text. After the merge,
use Edit, Replace to remove section breaks (replace section break with
nothing).
