Question

Is it possible to create a new page in the document for each record in the data source when executing mail merge?

Vice versa, is it possible to make sure all merged records appear continuously without page breaks?

Answers

Yes. In Microsoft Word, go to File / Page Setup / Layout. Select Section / Start from new page. Since mail merge engine duplicates document content and the result is multiple document sections (one section per merged record), choosing this option will force Word to start every section from a new page.

If you use mail merge with regions, then the mail merge region is duplicated for each record. A mail merge region can include block level elements such as paragraphs, tables, table rows all inside a single section. You can control page breaks for each merged records in a number of ways:

• Format the first paragraph in the region to have a page break before it using Format / Paragraph / Line and Page Breaks.
• Insert a page break using Insert / Break in Microsoft Word at the end of the mail merge region.
