Default Data from access database into a word table

Thank you. I can't believe the answer was so obvious! I added the heading
row manually.

Either
a. do the merge, then add the heading row manually at the end or
b. enable Word's Databaase menu and insert the data using a DATABASE field
(but you will either need the address to be in a single field in your Access
database, or to create an Access query that joins the pieces of address into
a single field, or to modify Word's Database field SQL to do that).

Well, I see my little visual didn't come out right, and then I realized
that
my table is set up that the first field is the entire address block, not
name
separated from address

NAME/ADDRESS SCHOOL DATE ATTENDING
address block school date
