Default How do you merge several mail merge lists into one?

The idea is that you use the big white space to provide some details of what
it is that you are starting with. In that you haven't done that, it is hard
to tell you what is the best way, but a sure way is to use a catalog or
directory type mail merge main document in which you have the merge fields
in the cells of a one row table in the document. When you execute such a
merge to a new document, that new document will contain a table with a row
of data for each record in the data source. You do this for each of your
data sources with the result that you will have three documents each with a
table containing the records from the data source against which it was
merged. You then copy and paste all of the ables together and then insert a
row at the top of the table into the cells of which you enter names for each
field and then save and use that document as your data source.
