Hi

I've used the search function but can't find an existing thread that
answers my question, but please let me know if it is out there!

I'm using Word 2000 and have Excel 2000 as my data source.

I want to create a table where the rows are dependant on the data source.
I have tried setting up a catalogue but my header row repeats for every
instance of a row in the data source. When I just try a straight forward
'Form Letter' it requires me to enter Next Record for every row in the
spreadsheet which would be incredibly time consuming. I'm sure that I'm
just missing a very basic command but I just can't find what it is!

Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you need more info to solve
the problem please just let me know.

Thanks
Pete

Create the catalog merge into a one row table. Merge to a new document then
add the header row and supplementary information in that document.
