I used to be able tyo do this but I must have forgotten a step. I created a
MailMerge document with a 3 col 1 row table. I have inserted the correct
MailMerge fields in the correct cells. When I MaailMerge all I get on one
page is the first record followed by a section break. How do I get all the
records on the same page?

You need to have at least "one page full" of the following fields...

First table row: mergefield1 mergefield2 mergefield3

All subsequent rows: next record mergefield1 next record
mergefield2 next record mergefield3

So you may just need to insert Next Record fields. Hope it helps!

The main document type must be a catalog (or in Word XP and later, it's
called directory) type mailmerge main document.

Sorry Anne, that is not the way. A catalog or directory type mailmerge main
document with a one row table containing merge fields will, when the merge
is executed, create a document containing a table with multiple rows on the
page, each row containing the data from a single record.

The only proviso is that the main document contain nothing apart from that
one row table.

Thanks, Doug. As you can see, I'm not much of an "everyday" Word user. I
guess I've got a lot more research to do.

BINGO! I was trying to do a shortcxut and forgot to setup the document as a
catalog/directory. Thanks to all who replied.
