Default Repeat a merge if a record exists or end if it doesn't

Greetings,

I am trying to make a document in which my data source is a .txt document
generated from an access query and exported. I want the document to look at
the data source and list all of the records in the .txt document. But, when
there is no longer any records to list, I want it to stop. Right now I have
to put 40 different mrege record entires in to cover possible record entries
from the query.

Here is what I have now:

«QuestionText»
«AnswerText»

Follow-up Action Taken/Required:

«Next Record If»«QuestionText»
«AnswerText»

Follow-up Action Taken/Required:

From Next Record If it is just repeated so that the form is looking for
the next record. Basically if the next record answer text field has
something listed, i want the question associated with the answer and the
answer itself to come up. The Follow-up action taken/required needs to come
up when there is an answer text merged from the query. If there aren't any
more records i don't want nearly 3 pages of empty document.

I am sorry if this doesn't make sense but I can try to clarify if needed.
Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated
