G'day "Terry" ,

You need to define the tab stops of the STYLE that the data uses to
sufficiently large enough values to work as desired.

Failing that, you can programmatically or manually select the results
(assuming an equal number of tab spaces on each selected para) and
convert them to a table with some appropriate autofit settings.

Terry reckoned:

Setting tab stops did not accomplish placing the the wandering rows of data. I have researched my sources and I do not find anyone refering to my problem. I'll restate it for whoever reads this. Operating system is WIN XP Home Edition, and Office 2000. Set up a mail merge for labels and it worked perfectly. Now I'm trying to set up a merge of selected data from my data source to complete a phone list. Entered my column names with tab stops to anchor them to the page.

Selected Mail Merge from Tool bar then opened my data source then edit my mail document to enter my merge fields then merged documents. I have data all over the page, and not in columnar format as I expected. Have gone into query and selected merge fields in the order I want them to print and that did not solve the problem.

Don't know what else to do but turn to you.

Thanks
