Summary:

The data document for a print merge can be created using the tables feature of Microsoft Word. If there is more than one paragraph in a cell for a particular record in the table, Word will treat the entire contents of that cell as one field entry during a print merge.

Note: In a normal print merge, the data document contains paragraph returns representing the end of a record. If the data document is in a table, all paragraphs within a given cell will be merged in as one entry.

For example, suppose the data document contains the following data in a particular table cell:

-


 * Apples (Return Character) | | Oranges | |____________________________|

Word will use the entire contents of this cell as one entry for a given field during a print merge.
