You still haven't mentioned what version of Word you're using so I'm
assuming 2003:-) What you want to choose in the first step of the merge is
[Select Document Type]: Directory.

Thanks, this is very helpful!
After not liking my table options, I tried Option 1 though i have little
experience in mail merging.
I figured out a way to set up the data in word using form fields from my
FMP database, but each entry sets up on it's own "page." in word. Is there a
way to get it to put different entries all in one document? If i try adding
other merge fields in the same doc, the information from the same record
shows up (as opposed to the next record). Any ideas?

I believe you actually have several [simple] options available to you.
1- FM Pro (depending on version) can be used as a data source for a Word
Mail/Catalog Merge without having to export the data as a text file first,
2- From within Word: You can use Insert> File to insert the text file, then
select the data & use the Table> Convert> Text to Table command. Format the
table with whatever you choose as far as borders, shading, etc.
[Note: The directions may differ if you're using Word 2007, but you didn't
mention version.]
There could be other possibilities as well.

Greetings!
I am using a database program to maintain research articles records. I
have
fields in the database (FilemakerPro) for author, article title, etc. I
can
save those fields in a txt. file, but would like to import them into word
so
they properly align as in a bibliography. If there's any other ways,
please
let me know, but one ideaI had was to import the txt. file into a form in
word wher ethe form fields are lined up as a bibliography. Is there a way
to
do this?
Help greatly appreciated!
