Default phone directory: how repeat data fields per table cell per record

How can I get Word to generate a new (next) table cell and repeat the data
fields used for the next record through all records?
I can copy each cell to make a page and then copy pages, but I have to know
how many records to include. Is there a way to generate the necessary table
cells and pages?

Use a catalog (or in XP and later it is called directory) type mail merge in
the main document of which you setup one set of the merge fields in a table
in the configuration that you want with nothing either before or after that
table. When you execute that merge to a new document, that document will
contain a table with a table row of data for each record in the data source.
