Data Merge - Excel Records to Word Table Columns NOT Rows eagleshout 5/13/2007 11:03:00 PM I'm either in over my head or I'm triying to accomplish the impossible. I want to merge partial fields from an Excel list into Word table cells. The standard direction of the record placement seems to be horizontally (within row cells and across columns.) I want the data to be placed vertically so I can place a <<next record>> at the top of each column and have the data flow vertically from top to bottom and then start a new record at the top of the next column Can anyone suggest a practical solution? tags: data merge fields fill table vertical columns not horizontal (across rows)
