MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / March 2004KB 211303
When setting up the Mail Merge per KB 211303, I used an Access database for the table data and a query to filter and sort. But when I run the mailmerge, each record generates a "Section Break (Next Page)" Is there any way to control this default behavior? Did you use a catalog (or in word XP and later) a directory type mailmerge main document? I just tried it using an Access query as the data source without any problems.  SignaturePlease post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested.

Doug Seems I missed that step, but that opens the question, what properties of the document change between the two? Or to ask the question another way, how would I format the document manually ----- Doug Robbins - Word MVP - DELETE UPPERCA wrote: ---- Did you use a catalog (or in word XP and later) a directory type mailmerge main document?

If you execute the mailmerge to a letter, a section break is inserted after the letter created for each record. With a Catalog or Directory type merge, a new paragraph is created for each record.

Forgot to mention that as the data is in Access, I would use an Access report instead.
