I probably should have finished my thought here...sorry.
What I'm thinking is making a custom label that fills an 8x11 page left to
right maybe an inch in height then placing the merge fields by using ctrl +
tab for columns. Then later, if I need to, I can place this "table" into
Excel to maybe do other kinds of manipulations.
I think that answers my question about the next record.
Anyway, is this the best option?
The reason this is even necessary is that we are obtaining data from a very
proprietary source that only allows us to download data through their system
which is terminal services running word 97. To create my list, I have to
modify one of their documents...it's a complete pain but no other option at
this time. The part where we send letters with the data works just fine,
the problem is that we need lists, not just merges to letters or envelopes.
Any advice appreciated. /g

I would like to merge a list of records from excel or access to a list
rather than letters or envelopes.
I was thinking about making a table that would put 20 records on a page. How
do I tell the merge to put the next record into a new row of the table?
