Default Mail merge from Outllok in columns

I have two questions.

I have created a mail merge from Outlook into Word and have setup the fields
properly. I can view one record set at a time. I can scroll through them with
the "Next Record" bottom but of course I want to view all the records
together. (I am creating a Contact list booklet). I have added the "Next
Record" insert feature at the bottom of the fields so that Word knows to show
the next record set, to get multiple record sets to display at once I seem to
have to copy the inserted fields over and over and over until I reach the end
of the data set. Obviously this is a problem. How can I get Word to
recongnize that there is more data nad keep displaying it until it reaches
the end?

Part two:

With the data in columns I want Word to check to see if there is enough room
let at the bottom of the page to insert the entire record set. If there is
not enough room I want it to move to the next column. The reason for this is
so that the complete address is all together, rather than having the
beginning at the bottom of one column and the rest at the top of the next
column.

Any advise will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
