Creating a catalog...help with pagination

[Kathryn Groves]

I am trying to create a catalog of information (somewhat like a phone
directory) using info from an Access Database.

I have the basic document set up and formatted but it puts each record on a
new page.

How can I get it to just move to the next record on the next available line?

Thank you

You need to use a catalog (on in XP and later, it is called directory) type
mailmerge main document. The usual thing would be to set up the
maindocument with the data inside a table (without borders if necessary)
with the rows set so that they do not break across pages.

But, why not use a report in Access?
