Default Create a directory table in word using mail merge

I'm trying to create a master directory using word from my database to add to
an existing document. It is not putting into the correct format unless I
looking at the data through the error checking process. Is there a macro of
some type you can run? i.e. first row of cells contains one employee's data,
next row of cells contains the next employee's data; and so on

Use a directory type mailmerge main document with the fieldnames inserted
into the cells of a one row table in that document. When you execute that
merge to a new document, it will contain a table with a row for each record
in the datasource.

Copy and paste that table into your existing document.
