Is there a way when merging a list of items, to display the items continuously on a line separated by commas, and wrap around to the next line if necessary

Thanks
Bao

Create a directory/catalog merge and put the field(s) on the same line. Add
a comma and a space, but do not press enter. The fields will follow one
another wrapping to the margin.

Hi Graham
It seems to work, however I don't want the comma at the last record and when I try to put some text at the end it repeats for each record. What I want to have happened is the following

A, B, C are the selected items on the list

Thanks again

You will need to remove the final comma and add the text after executing the
merge.
