Default Mail merge to a Word table

When I try to merge into a Word table from an Access database instead of
creating a table with each row as new record, the merge creates multiple
pages with one row per page instead of rows for each record. How can I
change this setting? There must be an invisible command telling the merge to
add a page break after each record.

Default Mail merge to a Word table

Use a Directory type mail merge main document in which you start with a
single row table into the cells of which you insert the merge fields. There
must be nothing else in the document. When you execute the merge to a new
document, that document will contain a table with a row of data for each
record in the data source.
