Using mail merge to generate tables without page breaks
I have an Excel spreadsheet, and I need to convert each line into a formatted
table in Word. I've been using mail merge to do this, and the tables generate perfectly, but each is followed by a page break. I don't want anything between the tables other than a paragraph break, but I can't figure out how to get rid of the page breaks (other than manually deleting each one, which is not practical because there are 360 tables). Any advice? |

Using mail merge to generate tables without page breaks
Hi Gail,
You can replace all the section breaks via Find/Replace. In the Find box, input: ^b Leave the Replace box empty or, if you need to replace the section break with an empty paragraph, insert: ^p Cheers -- macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] ------------------------- "Gail Gurman" wrote in message ...

Using mail merge to generate tables without page breaks
Change the main document type to a catalog or in Word XP and later it is
called directory type and make sure that after the table in the document you have two (2) paragraph breaks ¶ and nothing else. -- Hope this helps.
