I'm merging inventory data from Access 2002 to Word 2002
in order to produce a catalog. Data merge fields are
arranged within a _table_ in Word for layout/formatting
purposes. When I run the merge each record writes to its
own page. With >1400 line items, that makes a rather
large catalog.

How can I make it so that the merge keeps writing
records/tables to the page until the page is full?

many thanks

Use a Directory type mailmerge main document.

Doug -
I'm having the same problem. I changed it to the Directory type of mail
merge and still it's not working. Wonder what I'm doing wrong?
