Any simple tutorial or demonstration for this directory or address lable
printed on one sheet?
Thanks.

When you do a mail merge to "letter", Word inserts a section break after
each letter (and by default, that section break will start on a new page).

When you do a merge to a "directory" (or in older versions and when you do
it from Outlook, a "catalog"), Word does not insert any kind of break after
it processes a record. That means that, for example, if you have a data
source such as a list of names and addresses, you can output the data for
several addresses on each page. However, you can only output a directory to
a new Word .doc - you can't print one directly to the printer or merge one
directly to e-mail. By setting up the fields in a particular way, you can
also produce output where there are variable numbers of record per
"category" - although Word isn't really particularly well designed for that,
see for example

I was just musing what is the difference , in mail merging atmosphere,
between a Directory and a document?
One is asked to begin mail merging by selecting either a letter or label
etc
or a directory.
even when the merged directory is saved it gets a doc extension.what are
the uses of such directory?
thanks.
