I'm merging raw data from a .csv file to create a book. When I do the merge,
everything comes in fine, except that the merge adds sections at each new
record. These sections reset the page numbering to 1 for each section.
I want to have page numbers count from 1 to end in sequence. Resetting
these manually (about 80 times per chapter) is labor intensive.
Any ideas how to either set the page numbers to be continuous, or not have
new sections with each record?
Thank you!

Use a catalog merge rather than a letter merge?

Thank you for your quick reply!

I do not see a "catalog" option. Am I missing something? or is it not part
of this version?
Thank you,

Use a catalog, or in Word XP and later, its is called directory type mail
merge main document.
