Assuming that you have set the mail merge main document correctly for a
Directory type merge operation (on the Mailings tab of the Ribbon, in the
Start Mail Merge section, click on the Start Mail Merge pulldown and select
Directory), in the mail merge main document, insert a one row table into the
cells of which you insert the required merge fields. You must have nothing
else in that document other than anything that you want to be repeated for
each record in the data source. Then when you execute that merge to a new
document, that document will contain a table with a row of data for each
record in the data source.
