I'm creating a school directory using mail merge in a book style format. My
data source is also a Word file. I have 2 columns set up for each page and
am having a problem with the records not staying together. I have tried
various combinations of Window and Orphans, Keep Lines Together and Keep with
Next in but haven't had any luck.

Any ideas???

Thanks!

I am not sure if by "directory" you mean a directory type mailmerge. If so,
insert the mergefields into the cell of a table and set make sure that in
the Table formatting that the check mark is removed from the allow rows to
break across pages.

Hope this helps.
