Data Merge Excel/Word

[itowriter]

Hi all. I feel I am missing one step in my Data Merge process.

I have an Excel sheet which is going to be my source.

I made a new Word doc and put a blank table in. I dragged and dropped
first name, last name, phone # etc. into the 2nd row of the table. I
hit merge.

It merged beautifully BUT it has one person per page. So instead of a
nice table with 89 entries, it is 89 pages long, with one person per
page. I know I am getting one key thing wrong... what is it?

THANKS.

Well, it depends on what you want the final document to look like... You
actually have at least two options:

1- Use the Mail Merge Manager to create a Catalog rather than Labels which
provides more customized layout capability, or
2- Select a label layout from the options offered - there's no law that says
you must print on labels. Let the template generate & propagate the table
for you then print on regular paper.
