Sections in Merge

[Joshann]

I have set up a merge in Word 2003 that I run from Access 2003. When it
merges, it creates Section Breaks before each new record. I want it to
create Page Breaks instead. Does anyone know how to do this?

Use a Directory type mailmerge main document in which the first paragraph is
formatted to have a page break before it.

Or use Edit replace on the document created by executing a formletter type
mailmerge to replace ^b with ^m.

Using a Directory type mailmerge with a page break before the first paragraph
worked. Thanks very much.

I have the same problem, but it is a label mail merge document so
"Directory" is no use.

Or use Edit replace on the document created by executing a formletter type
mailmerge to replace ^b with ^m.

Tried this but Word simply ignores the procedure just leaving the section
breaks intact. Anyway, why does Word do this? It never used to, earlier
versions always had automatic page breaks.
