Using a template to merge info to a directory

[jv behr]

Trying to make a membership directory from my mail merge data. I want to use
one of the directory templates offered, but can't figure out how to modify it
to fit my exact needs (i.e. column heads, number of columns).

I am not sure to what you are referring by "directory templates offered"

However, just select "Catalog" (or in Word XP and later it is referred to as
"Directory") as the type of mail merge that you want to set up, then attach
your data source to the mail merge main document and then insert one set of
the merge fields from the data source in the configuration that you want
them.

When you execute this merge to a new document, your will get the data from
each record in the data set arrange in the configuration that you used for
inserting the merge fields into the mail merge main document.
