Default Mail Merge Directory - page breaks

Are you using a Directory (or in earlier version of Word, it is called
Catalog) type mail merge main document? In such a main document, you should
insert the merge fields into the cells of a one row table, and have nothing
else in the body of the document, When you execute such a merge to a new
document, that document will contain a table with one row of data for each
record in the data source.

I am using the mail merge reature to create a list of names and addresses
that are being imported from an Excel spreadsheet. The merge works fine
but
my directory keeps printing just one record on each page. I have not
inserted
any page breaks as I want a continuous list. How can I get this to work
properly?
