Column headers in catalog merge?

Hello All,

I am using the mail merge features in Word 2000 with the
main document type as Catalog to produce a table with
invoice payment line items.  The table is created
successfully after the merge, however I would like to be
able to put column headers on the table as well.  If I add
column headers to the main document and then merge, I end
up with the headers being repeated in every other row of
the table.  For example:

Headers
First Payment line item
Headers (Repeated)
Second Payment line item
Headers (Repeated)
Third Payment line item
etc...

I was wondering if there was a way to tell Word (either in
the main document or during the merge process) that the
column headers should only be displayed once (ie; not
repeated).  If anybody has any information on how to do
this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Merge to a new document and then add the extra information you wish to
display.

You have to add them after the merge.  It could be done with a macro.

For a table, you could put a row with column headers in the
HEADER portion of the main merge document. Getting it all
lined up can be a bit tricky, you may need to put that row in
a text box and format it "behind the text".
