Yep. I was able to format the paragraphs exactly how I wanted and then it
merged into a new doc - I just didn't go that final step. Thanx

A directory merge simply reproduces everything on the page for each record
without a page break. In this case set the source document as two columns
and at the head of the first column enter and format the record layout that
you wish to achieve. Merge to a new document.

In Word 2003, under the Mail Merge Task Pane there's a DIRECTORY
option. I want to merge our personnel database into a directory. I
want a 2 column layout with the Family name & Phone Number on line
one followed with 3 indented lines of info (Address, names, etc).
The way I'm trying this I'm not getting any layout options - the
output is simply line after line.
When I do a label merge I get the fields and can enter precisely what
I want. But since there's an Option for Directory I thought that's
what I should be using.
What am I doing wrong?
