I have considerable experience using Mail Merge, but am attempting to set up
a directory which is simply email address field, so I can have a list of
email addresses all on one page. When I complete the merge, I get a new
document that has four email addresses on the first line, then nothing
visible - at the bottom of the page it says there are 320 words (which is the
number of email addresses I have in my excel document), but they are not on
the page. Any suggestions about what I'm doing wrong or how to fix this
problem?

I've actually found the solution - for some reason, the emails will not show
up in the "print layout", but if I go to "View" and switch to any other kind
of view, they are all there. Any ideas about why this is happening - rather
frustrating really.

Hi museumgirl,

I'd suggest checking your page layout - paper size and margins - to make sure they're correct.

The reason that it happens is because the only destination to which you can
execute a Directory type mail merge is to a new document.
