Default Directory mail merge

I read the article from Cornell and the MS article 294686 and understand them
and have been successful implementing them. However, I'm wondering how to add
other merge field(s) at the bottom of the page or after the multiple records
only once (as if they were in the header), but before the page break.
For example an invoice: has header info at the top of the page, the middle
is multiple records (item, qty, price) and at the bottom a total for the
entire invoice. I can get this total field from the data source there is no
need to sum). I can't figure out how to get the total field at the bottom
without it showing multiple times. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I'm trying to prepare a mailmerge that is a letter with part of the
letter listing several rows of data to the recipient. The recipient
information is in the data file 5 times as there are then 5 pieces of
data that need listing in part of the letter before the letter is then
finished. There is some other information in the data file that needs
to go in the letter but that is supplied 5 times and is identical.

Hope that made sense? Can anyone help as i'm getting 5 letters out
each with one piece of the unique data as aposed to a list.

Many thanks
Simon
