I downloaded a Directory Template for Word and am trying to merge information
from an Access database. I cannot get multiple records on a page. I get one
record, then the Cover, inside cover, title page all repeat followed again by
only one record on a page .

I have Office Professional 2003

Do a catalog-style merge rather than a letter-style merge.

Word cannot create this type of merge document.

Create a new merge document with your membership list formatted for one
member as you would like it to appear, then with that document type set as
Directory, merge to a new document. Everything you enter on the page will be
repeated for each member. Copy and paste the resulting information into a
document created from your template.
