I have worked with mail merge for labels and letters but I want to take data:
student name, absence 1, absence 2 and grade and use the merge to fill a
form like:

Student 1 Grade Absence 1 Absence 2
Student 2 Grade Absence 1 Absence2
Student 3 ...... etc.

I do not want a new form for each record, I want all records to show on one
page much like mail merge labels would?? Can anyone help?

Use a catalog, or in Word XP and later it is called "directory" type
mailmerge main document in which you insert a one row table and place the
merge fields inside the cells of that table. Do not put anything else into
the document. When you execute that merge to a new document, that document
will contain a table with one row of data for each record in the data
source.

Hi,

If you want all recods on one page, when you start mail merge, do NOT select
form letter, use choice of CATALOG (or in Word XP and later, it is called a
DIRECTORY.

So you will have field codes all on one line, ended by Next Record field
code.

Hope this helps, Len
