Hi Steve,

Re 1: Did you click 'Finish & Merge'?

Re 2: Amongst other things, cell vertical alignment takes account of whatever berfore/after paragraph spacing has been set for the cell's contents. For true centring, you should make sure it's set to 0 for the 'before' spacing of the first paragraph in each cell and, correspondingly, for the 'after' spacing of the last paragraph.

Thanks macro. I did click on step 6 (Complete the Merge), but that didn't seem to change anything onscreen. If I go back to step 5 (Preview) and click multiple times on >>, eventually I get to the last record. The screen then shows the last part of the records (and doesn't change at step 6). There's still only one page. Ctrl-PgUp or Ctrl-PgDn doesn't do anything.

I'm afraid you lost me on the vertical alignment question, looks like it's pretty complicated?

Steve
