I am trying to set up a mail merge from an access table to a word table. I have set it up as a catalogue so that I can display multiple records on one page. After setting up a table with five columns and putting the merge field in each column I then put the next record command after the last merge field in the row so that it will show the next record in the next row.

This works fine except that it will not add or remove extra rows in the table automatically so at the moment I have repeated the above commands ten times and am deleting the unneeded (blank) rows.

Is there a way of specifying that I want the table to start a new row for each record? The word document is in a very specific format so I am limited in terms of how much I can change its appearance. It also needs to be saved as a word document so I can't change it into a report either.

Thanks in advance for your help.
