Thank you. I've done everything you said (I'm using Word 2002 but the menu
choice is Directory, not Catalog). Can you figure out where I went astray?
1) open new doc 2)Insert 1 row table with 2 columns and open data source 3)
insert mail merge field Last Name in first cell and Address in second cell 4)
Click Merge to New Document. I got 39 pages with one address on each.

Are you sure that you are using a Directory type mailmerge main document. I
assume that because of your use of the terminology "*.mdb recipients list"
that you are using Word XP or Word 2003. If you are using an earlier
version of Word, it is called a Catalog type mail merge.

In either case, if you insert a one row table into the main document and
into the cells of that table, you insert the mergefields, then when you
execute the merge to a new document, that new document will contain a row of
data for each record in the data source.

There should be nothing else in the main document apart from that one row
table.

I think I didn't put enough in my main document (I had only Last Name and
Address on one line). What do I put there if I want is a list of Last
Name
and Address for each record? How do I get it to put consecutive records
on
the same page? Thank you for helping.

Ok, it shouldn't, unless you have done something like..
a. inserted a page break in your mail merge main document
b. inserted a paragraph that has "page break before" formatting, or used
a
paragraph style with that formatting attached (I would suspect the
latter,
if you have used a Heading style to introduce each entry in your
directory).

I chose the Directory option. That is what put each record on a
separate
page.

In the first step of the Mail Merge Wizard, or using the first button
on
the
Mail Merge toolbar, choose the "Directory" option.

I have printed envelopes using a mail merge in Word. How do I print
a
one-page list of the recipients' names and addresses using the same
*.mdb
list? When I try to make a directory from the recipients' list each
record
is on a separate page. I want all records to be on one page. In
other
words, I want a single-page list of the people I sent invitations
to.
Any
help?
