Hi,

I am trying to create a catalog. I have prepared an input file. I can do the
mailmerge into a 1 column 1 row table using the directory type of document.
The merge works and produces a merge to a new document that contains pages
with the single cell propagated in 1 column. The problem I have is: I would
like the final product to have 2 columns per page, such that the first column
fills top to bottom then fills the second column top to bottom. How can I add
that second column on the page and fill properly? Thanks, Jim

Format the mail merge main document so that it has two columns.

And put the one row table at the top of the first column.
Do you actually need the table if all the info goes in one cell?

Perfect. No need for cell. Thanks a million.
