Running Office 2000 on Windows 2000 machine.
I am doing a mail merge into Word (form letter)and have
inserted the merge field codes into a table in Word. My
data source is an XL file that was exported from a query
run in an Access database.
When I run the merge, it inserts section breaks on the
resulting document, which I don't want. If I remove the
section breaks, the table gets messed up and I cannot
perform a sort on it at all.
Any way to do the merge without it inserting the section
breaks OR a way to get rid of them without messing up the
resulting merge document

Word inserts section breaks when it does Form Letter and other types of
merges. To avoid them, use a Catalog merge.
