I have Word 2003.  I have set up a table to merge with a data program.  All
works well except for a few cells that add an extra line - putting the text
on the next line after the merge. I took off auto resize, auto fit and made
them fixed column width and it is still happening.  Any suggestions?

Word will, I think, try to fit the text into the column. Maybe you need to
fix the /row height/ of the table cell, as well as everything else you are
already doing.

(Sorry, I did not test this here)

It works OK here. Try...

...in your Mail Merge Main document,
a. select the table row containing your merge fields
b. select Table->Table Properties->Row->Specify Height
c. ensure that you specify "Exactly" in the "exact/ measuement in the "Row
Height Is" drop down.
