I have printed envelopes using a mail merge in Word. How do I print a
one-page list of the recipients' names and addresses using the same *.mdb
list? When I try to make a directory from the recipients' list each record
is on a separate page. I want all records to be on one page. In other
words, I want a single-page list of the people I sent invitations to. Any
help?

In the first step of the Mail Merge Wizard, or using the first button on the
Mail Merge toolbar, choose the "Directory" option.

I chose the Directory option. That is what put each record on a separate page.

Ok, it shouldn't, unless you have done something like..
a. inserted a page break in your mail merge main document
b. inserted a paragraph that has "page break before" formatting, or used a
paragraph style with that formatting attached (I would suspect the latter,
if you have used a Heading style to introduce each entry in your directory).

I think I didn't put enough in my main document (I had only Last Name and
Address on one line). What do I put there if I want is a list of Last Name
and Address for each record? How do I get it to put consecutive records on
the same page? Thank you for helping.

Are you sure that you are using a Directory type mailmerge main document. I
assume that because of your use of the terminology "*.mdb recipients list"
that you are using Word XP or Word 2003. If you are using an earlier
version of Word, it is called a Catalog type mail merge.

In either case, if you insert a one row table into the main document and
into the cells of that table, you insert the mergefields, then when you
execute the merge to a new document, that new document will contain a row of
data for each record in the data source.

There should be nothing else in the main document apart from that one row
table.
