Word 2000 Table/Mail Merge Question

I have a table set up and am trying to mail merge. For some reason, when it merges the data in the second column starts on a second page. The text is not too long, I've tried changing the document to a catalog, I've tried "Keep with Next" and "Keep Lines Together". I've taken off "Allow rows to break across pages". I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I have many such documents to create.

Thanks!
 
If you're putting more than one &quot;record&quot; on a page, you need to Insert-Word field and choose <<next record>> just prior to the first field on the second and all subsequent portions...

If you want a sample of that format, just create mailmerge labels. You'll note that <<next record>> appears on all labels but the first.

Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately that didn't solve my problem. I am supposed to have one record on a page - with six merge items in the left column and one in the right. It merges the left column fine, but puts the right column on a second page. Then it goes to the next record and does the same thing - so I have two pages for each record when there should only be one.

Still searching for answers - I can't seem to find much tech info on tables and mail merges.

Thanks!
 
I have found my solution. It was in my exported data and not the document.

Thanks for your help though Dreamboat!
