Default Merging Data into Differently-Sized Tables

Greetings:

I am a Mac OS X user attempting to merge FileMaker 8 data into Word
2004 for Mac.

What I would like to accomplish is to merge records into Word on
separate pages with embedded tables for each page. The tables will
include names and pertinent information that belong to each record. For
example: the names and phone numbers for a number of students in a set
of classrooms. Since each classroom has different amounts of students,
the tables would be of different size.

I will set up my imported data in such a way that the table data (e.g.
the student info) is stored in the last fields of each record. Once
Word discovers a field of data is blank, it will proceed to the next
record. During the mail merge process, I would like Word to generate
the appropriately sized tables based on how many fields contain data.
Is there an easy way I can use field codes or something comparable to
generate the tables? I want to keep this as simple as possible, given I
have no scripting experience.

Many thanks in advance for any assistance with this problem-

Mike Hegedus
