I'm trying to merge names and addresses on to a form. Each line will hold a
different address. The main document is in Word and the data is coming from
Excel 2000.

Why isnt' Word inserting 'Next Record' field in any of the cells? Currently,
I'm counting up how many addresses there are and then manually inserting
'Next Record' for the appropriate number (minus 1 for the first record)?

Thanks in advance

Depending on the nature of your document you may not be able to achieve this
easily (or even at all).
Set up a single row table with the document type as Catalog and merge your
data into it. Then paste the table into your document.
See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211303 and also the special merges
information on Cindy's web site http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister
