Letter AND Directory?

Does anyone know of a way to use Mailmerge to create a document that has a
letter portion and a table portion?  The table needs to contain many
different records, but the letter (also having merge fields; the different
records displayed in the table would all reference the same addressee) would
just be addressed to one person.  I understand that I could create the letter
separately and then insert the merged table as a file, but it would be a lot
easier to merge this up as one document, if possible.    

We currently do this in WordPerfect by using the command "REPEATROW".

Thanks for any insight.

See the mail merge FAQ on my website, under "Special merges". There's a
section on doing 1:n merges, with a short discussion on the problem and links
to sample files. Try the Database field approach.
