You could also use a conditional field to place the header (albeit tricky if
you use a table for the document)
{ IF{ MERGESEQ } = 1 "Put your heading text here
"}{ SKIPIF { MERGEFIELD Company } = "" }Put your fields here

You can make it a single-row table (you could copy the table row
you're using in the body of the document once you get the column
widths finalized), but with that you have the issue of having to have
a text paragraph below the table. What I often do is just use tabs
(left or center) to align the headings with the table columns. But
I'm more likely to add a heading row to the table after performing
the merge.

Thanks Suzanne! I really expected this to be a lot easier than it
is. I've even tried linking to my Outlook Contacts from an Access
database and merging from there...to no avail. It seems whatever I
try, either the functionality isn't there or I run into some obscure
bug or error as soon as it seems like it's going to work.

I don't have any problem putting a header row in the doc header but
I'm not sure how to go about doing it. Would it be a separate,
single row table? If so, how do you get it to line up with the body
table?

Do you have a sample template you could e-mail me?

Thanks again,

Scott
