[On the Corner]

I am creating a Directory in word. I did it in Publisher but someone
suggested using Word. On the 8th page of the booklet the address begin. I
want them in two columns. When I use merge it includes the other 7 pages and
then only puts one address per page. What is the secret to success?

If you got it to work in Publisher, I'd stick to that - the mail merge
facilities in the two programs are sufficently different that Publisher can
do things that Word cannot, and vice versa.

If you want to use Word your best bet is probably as follows:-
a. keep the first 7 pages in a separate document.
b. Set up the eighth page as a mail merge main document using either a
2-column section layout or a 2-column table (depending on the sequence you
want to achieve). Use a "Directory" type merge.
c. Do the merge.
d. combine the output document with the first 7 pages.
