Access to Mail Merge Command same as "Page Off" in Word Perfect

[Government Grunt]

I am attempting to create a mail merge with a documented formated as a table
with seven data columns. Each data entry from the data source is entered into
a single row on the table. Instead of pre-formatting the table to a certain
number of rows, I want a mail merge command that will automatically insert
another formated row into the table with each data entry. For example, if I
have 7 data entries then the program will create a table with only seven
rows. The next day should I have 10 entries the program will create a table
with only 10 rows.

WordPerfect had a mail merge command called "Page Off", which enabled such
an operation. I can not locate the equivalent in Mail Merge. Does that
command exist in MicrosoftWord and where?

Thanks,

In Word, that would be a Directory type mailmerge in XP or later. In
earlier versions it was called a Category.

Insert the merge fields into the cells of a one row table in the mailmerge
main document and when you execute the merge, the document will contain a
row for the data in each record.
