Directory Mail Merge printing in columnar format

[Terry]

======

I have established my data in Excel 2003, open a directory new document in
Word 2003,
typed the head of the columns, beneath that I have enter the fields from the
merge tool bar. When I ask for the merge the data prints all over the page.
Not in the columnar/row order I anticipated. Need to know what went wrong,
ways fix the merge fields in my document, etc.

Thanks

Use a directory type mailmerge main document containing ONLY a one row table
into the cells of which you insert the mergefields. You can turn off the
borders if you don't want them to appear (Ctrl+Alt+u) and you will have to
add the "head columns" AFTER executing the merge.
