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?
