Table Cells and Merging to Next Record

[Lori O]

I am trying to merge data into a table with 2 cells and then move to the next record.
In the first cell I have name-address-city state in the second cell I have personalize information
They are 4 up on a sheet. So I have a table with 4 Rows 2 columns for each record. After it prints 1
I want it to go to the next record. I do not know if this is possible in a table with 2 cells. I have to have
the 2 cells, because the information in the 2nd cell has to be centered in a certain area.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using a word document and merging with a dbf file.
Thanks,
Lori O

Set up the mail merge document with one row, 2 cells. Nothing else should be in the document. Choose the
CATALOG (or directory if this is 2002 or 2003) merge type. Execute the merge to a new document and see if this
is closer to what you want.

OR you could use the NEXT command from the Insert Word Field button to insert a NEXT field. Put it at the very
beginning of each new row.
