I have used the below guidance to set up a mail merge to force a new
category to a new page, it work fine in the example for standard tab format.
However, I have six fields to pull data from (Excel File), two of the fields
contain long sentences (Title & Resolution Action). So I need to use a
table to hold the data in columns or it just runs wild on the page. I can
make it work for directory as a single list but I am at a loss to make it
page break for new categories. Is it possible to use a table format and
page break on categories?
