I am using a mail merge to put data into a table from Access. Each table is
a new record, i used the directory option, and each table lies on a new page.
My problem lies when the data in the record causes the table to be longer
than 1 page. The table is not continued on the next page, and all of the
data not on the page is "lost". Is there any way to fix it?

Can you explain in a bit more detail how you have the mergefields arranged
in the Directory type mailmerge main document and what it is that causes the
"table" for each new record to start on a new page.

I created a table that has 10 rows in it. I sued a mail merge to bring in
data from Access by using the directory option. I placed the results from
the query in the corresponding rows. The trable is recreated on every page
for each record that is returned from the query. Now the problem arises when
the rows begin to get larger because of results with longer fields. When the
table should continue on the next page it doesnt, and instead the record is
found there. How would i go about setting it up so that my table is
continued on the next page?

I am sorry, but it is still not really clear to me how your mail merge main
document is set up. If it is a directory type mail merge main document,
there would not normally be a new page for each record (unless the data for
a record completely fills the page). If the field for the record that is
"found" on the next page was in a cell in the table, then I do not see how
the record would be appearing outside of that cell.

Maybe you should send me a copy of the mail merge main document so that I
can understand how you have it set up.

I am using the directory type and have it set up so that each record should
be at least one page. The table size is that big. I can send you a copy of
the mail merge document if you want, would you like the actual merged
document or just the sample of what the merge is going to look like?

Send me a copy of the mailmerge main document and a bit of a file that
displays the problem and I will take a look at it.
