I have followed the mail merge wizard to create a
directory but my information is showing up one record per
page rather than all the records listed on one page. what
am i missing?

It sounds as though you have not created a directory but a form letter -
either that or you have an unwanted page break on the page. A directory
merge will reproduce whatever is on your merge document for each record.

I trust you have merged to a new document and are not trying to view the
merge document?

There are some tips at
http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm that will make
merging easier.

thank you for your response. I did choose directory but
your last comment was the answer - I was viewing the
merge. So, when I did merge to a new document, the
problem was fixed. I also used the toolbar rather than
the wizard and that made a difference too. Thanks
