I am trying to make a 36 page alphabetical church directory in Word. I have
a data base in Excel that I would like to try and mail merge into the
directory. Does anyone know how to do this?

You can use mailmerge: read help or Google on creating a catalog (the only
difference between this and other forms of mailmerge is that you have
multiple records per page, instead of a new document for each record).

But if it's just a case of formatting the list it might be adequate and
simple just to copy the data in Excel, paste into Word, and format the
resulting table.

And what you mail merge into might be a "booklet." You can use "Book fold"
in Word 2002 or 2003, or see
