Default Excel data into Word table

When I merge data from Excel into a Word table, Word inserts a section break
between each row causing each row to be on a separate page. I've tried
searching for the break and replacing it with nothing, but that doesn't work
and I am having to manually delete each one. How do I stop Word from
inserting the breaks?

Instead of a formletter type mailmerge main document, use a catalog (or in
Word XP and later, it is called "directory") type mailmerge main document in
which you have a one row table into the cells of which you insert the
mergefields. When you execute the merge to a new document, that document
will contain a table with a row for each record in the data source.

Hope this helps.
