I recently changed from XP to Vista and transferred my database over with no problems. I had to reinsert my merge fields into the transferred merge document. Again, no problem (using the Microsoft Works Task Launcher template), I am able to complete the merge but I am unable to produce a listing of people on each page. I can only get one entry per page, which is not what I require.As I maintain a database for a small Charity it is essential that this problem is solved urgently, especially as the database has just been updated. Can anyone help, please?

I was attempting to use a Microsoft Works Database with Vista, which I thought would provide the same scope as the Microsoft Works Database with XP that I previously used. The options list with Vista does not include 'Directory', just Letters, Envelopes and Labels. I am assuming that Microsoft Office may have contained a more sophisticated mail merge facility, but Vista only allowed a free trial for a short period when I bought the computer and I was not prepared to fork out more money for it. Especially as I believed at that time(wrongly, it seems) that Works would still be suitable for my mail merge requirements. Fortunately for me, I had still retained my old computer, so the charity that I maintain the data base for, will not be inconvenienced. The problem is that both setups are taking up most of my spare bedroom, as I had to keep the old monitor, printer etc. Do you know of any solution enabling me do produce a directory with Works Database with Vista?

Any help appreciated.
