I'm using O2003 and W2003. When merging from contacts in Outlook to
Word (I start from within Outlook), each record starts a new page in my
Word document. Is there an option so when there is a new record, not
have it start a new page unless necessary (e.g., end of page)?

Thanks

Shawn

In the Mail Merge dialog box in Outlook, under "Merge options", specify the
Document Type as "Catalog". Or you can do the same thing in Word by enabling
the Mail merge toolbar, clicking the first button, and selecting the
Directory option.

If you need page breaks at certain points you then have to figure out a way
to insert them, typically using { IF } fields.
