Thank you for your suggestion.
I followed your instructions but the table, which is 60 pages long, only
worked for the first page. How can I get two copies of the entire table to
continue until the end?
Thank you for any help you can offer.

The only way to do this would be to have just one table, perhaps with an
empty column in the middle of it with no top and bottom borders in the
cells
of that column and then have the merge fields in both the left and right
hand columns.

If you are using a directory (or catalog in earlier versions of Word),
type
mail merge main document, that table would just have one row in the cells
of
which you set up the mergefields.

Otherwise, if you have a formletter type mailmerge main document, with a
ten
row table in it, insert a Next Record field before the first mergefield
in
the left hand column for all rows EXCEPT the first.

I need to produce a page with a table on the left, with the date coming
from
an Excel spreadsheet. I need to create the same table and data next to
it
on
the right. In other words I need to have the first 10 records of a 250
record
spreadsheet on a page and right next to it the same data, records 1-10
of
the
250 record spreadsheet, appearing right next to it.
How would I do this? Your hgelp is greatly appreciated.
