How do I print a data source as a list?

K

I have my list of names in a data source. I would like to print the list of
names, so I can show the committee who I have on the list. How do I do that?
I created a table to merge the data source, but that only prints one name
repeatedly. Help!

Create a "Directory" merge (in Word 2000 and earlier it is called a Catalog
merge).

Attach the document to your data source.

Insert a table row with the number of columns you need.

Insert one field from the data source into each cell.

Perform the merge (you can only output to a new document.

Insert a row at the top of the table with column headers, and any other
stuff you need (such as headers/footers).

Good.

I would just be careful not to modify the database structure in any way -
for example, adding a table or a query may mean that the database is no
longer recognised as an "Office Address List", which would typically mean
that you could not modify the data from within Word.
