Word 2010 mail-merge <> not working

mail-mergemicrosoft-word-2010

I'm creating a mail merge in Word 2010. I have a simple XLSX which looks like this:

Name
Jack
John
Tammy
Tim
Sam
Jill

I have started the mail-merge with a blank Word document and added one field, <<Name>>, hit [Enter] and then inserted the <<Next Record>> rule via Mailings > Rules > Next Record. Both the Preview and the finished merge (printed via CutePDF) are still putting every record on it's own page. I did not insert a page break so I don't understand why the next record is being moved to the next page. The goal is to have the records flow through the page and move to the next page only when necessary.

Best Answer

In the mail merge wizard you need to choose the "directory" option instead of the "letter" option. This will allow your merge to happen all on the same page.
