Use a catalog (or in Word XP and later it is called directory) type
mailmerge main document to which you attach your table in Access as the data source and in the mail merge main document insert a one row, two column table and insert the mergefield in each cell of that table and before the mergefield in column two, insert a Next Record field. Then when you execute the merge to a new document, that document will contain a table with the data organised as you want. -- Hope this helps.
