I assume that you are using a Directory type mail merge main document for
this. At least that is what you should be using and in that document, you
should have a one row table in the cells of which you insert the merge
fields and the must be nothing else in the document other than the empty
paragraph mark that will follow the table. If that is how you have the main
document set up, when you execute the merge to a new document, that document
will contain a table with a row of data for each record in the data source.

Doug,
My word document is 68 pages long and I have merge fields throughout the
document including the table that I would like to use to populate the merge
fields to.
By your answer I'm assuming I will not be able to use the "Directory"
feature in the table within the document. Is there another way I can have
the merge fields populate within each row of the table?
Thanks,

Sounds like you are probably trying to perform a "multiple items per
condition (=key field)" mailmerge which Word does not really have the
ability to do:
See the "Group Multiple items for a single condition" item on fellow MVP
