I would like to merge to a document that contains a table. I would like
this table have a header row.

For each new record from the merge data, I would like a new row in my
table.

Have looked pretty hard for this - seems like it should be a fairly
common request.

Any help would be appreciated.

Use a catalog type mailmerge main document containing a one row table in the
cells of which you insert the mergefields. Execute that merge to a new
document and then copy and paste the table into your other document and
insert a header row at the top of the table.

I understand that the catalog feature can be used.

Is there anyway to accomplish this without the manual copy and paste
things, I would like this to be as automatic as possible.

Thanks

You could automate the process using VBA if it were worth the effort.
