I would greatly appreciate someone's help out there if they can...I'm in
Word 2000 and have merged Access data into a directory. The only problem is
when I complete the merge to a new document, the headings appear for each
record, I only want the headings to appear at the top of each page.

Is your merge result a table, or do you mean something else with "headings"?

If what you basically want is a table of the Access data, set up a query with
just the fields you want to use, then copy/paste. Or you can use the Insert
Database button on Word's DATA toolbar.

For a non-table, take a look at the mail merge fAQ on my website. I think I've
posted something there about having introductory text in a catalog (directory)
type of mail merge.
