Jenn,

What you need to understand is that a Directory merge cannot have a different header/footer on every page (unless you use the 'different first page' and 'different odd & even' page layouts and limit the merge to 3 pages), let alone for every record. If you compare the output from a Directory merge and a Letter merge with either my last attachment or your latest, you'll see exactly that difference.
