"type" is a noun

The following:

You will need to create a separate Catalogue (or in Word 2002 and later,
Directory) type mail merge main document which creates a word document
containing a table in each row of which would be data from the data source
that contains the email address in the first column and the Drive:\Path...

could read:

You will need to create a separate Catalogue (or in Word 2002 and later,
Directory) type mail merge main document which, when executed, creates a
word document containing a table in each row of which would be data from the
data source that contains the email address in the first column and the
Drive:\Path

But, if you just read on and follow each step, you will come to:

You first execute that mail merge to a new document, which if you have set
it up correctly will produce a document containing a table similar to the
following:

and, there are examples of what that document would look like.

Thank you for clearing that up. Even with the clarification, though, I'm
still having trouble figuring out what that first sentence means. Is
"type"
being used as a verb or a noun in "You will need to create a separate
Directory type mail merge main document"? When the article says, "which
creates a word document containing a table in each row...", does that mean
this table should be automatically created or I need to create a table?
Right now I have three word files, my source with email addresses, my
message, and this additional Directory. I understand what the outcome of
this process should be, but I'm completely missing how to get there. I'd
appreciate further clarification. Thanks.

You need to read the article more carefully. The reference to catalogs
or
directories has nothing to do with Visual Basic. They are a type of
mailmerge.

Post back here with any specific questions that you have.

I've checked out the article, but it's like reading Greek. I've gotten
as
far as "Setup" and then I'm completely lost. That first sentence just
keeps
going, and having never worked with macros I have no idea what it is
I'm
supposed to be doing. I don't even see anything in the Visual Basic
Editor
about Catalogues or Directories. Help?
