Default Can I use Access as the data source if I'm creating a directory?

I'm trying to create a mail merge for someone in my office where I
need to pull in (from Access) mailing info as well as a list of school
districts and the schools in the district. For example:

Township High School District 9999
Jane Doe High School
Susie Cupcake High School
John Q. Public High School

I've tried following the KB article "How to use mail merge to create a
list sorted by category in Word" but I keep getting one school per
page.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Betsy

Use a report in Access instead of mailmerge in Word.
