Have you explored the IncludeText option? See

The goal is to merge select data stored in Excel (many rows and columns of
data) into various sections of a word document as tables.

The mail merge process works great, except people don't like cutting and
pasting the merge results into the various sections of the document in
Word -
it takes too much time and introduces opportunities for error.

Is there a better approach - other than using mail merge?

Thanks for your help.

it up with merge results?

Hello -

Is there anyway to create a directory using the mail merge feature in
word
2003 within the same document as the mail merge template? Step 6 og 6
in
the
mail merge process only allows the merge to happen "To New Document".

Thanks!
