I am having trouble doing exactly what I want to do with a directory
mail merge. I have a very long list of students, by school. First, I
would like to do a page break when the school changes. As soon as I
put any { } type stuff in, the directory stops being a directory, and
becomes a regular mail merge with one merged record per page. Is this
normal? (using word 2003)

Is the only way to do this with a macro or something after the merging
has occurred?

Thanks in advance for any help!
