Use a catalog (or in Word XP and later, it is called "directory") type
mailmerge main document in which you have just a one row table with the
mergefields in the cells of that table. There must be nothing else in the
document other than the single ¶ after the table that you cannot delete.
When you execute that merge to a new document which is the only possible
destination, that new document will contain a table with a row of data for
each record in the data source.

I noticed that you said that there could be nothing else in this document.
I'm trying to create a course listing per instructor so that there is a
title page and informaton for each instructor and then the course listing in
a table. Is this doable. I've managed to do this without a table but I want
the table included.

Thanks in advance for you help
