Default Excel Multiple Rows Merged into Word (Vertical Format)

I am collecting scores on an assessment from two reviewers in a spreadsheet. Each student will ultimately have two rows in the spreadsheets, each with the scores from a particular reviewer.

I saw how to use a Directory to merge the data in the spreadsheet into a Word document, using the student ID as a key.

However, ideally, I would like to merge the data into a table in Word with three columns:

COLUMN A: Task that was assessed (there were 15 tasks_
COLUMN B: Reviewer #1's scores
COLUMN C: Reviewer #2's scores

I am looking for a way to generate a 1-page report for each student, that includes this table, with the 15 tasks listed, and each reviewer's score to the right of each task.

However, I cannot find a way to merge this information in COLUMNS (or vertically). Every example shows how to merge each row of data from the spreadsheet as a separate row in a table (horizontally). I prefer this layout because the text under TASK (rather than blah blah) is longer, and visually looks better in a row, rather than as a column heading.

Task | Reviewer #1 | Reviewer #2
Blah blah #1 | 3 | 2


Blah blah #2 | 2 | 2
Blah blah #3 | 2 | 1

I only find ways to do this:

Reviewers | Task 1 | Task 2 | Task 3
1 | 3 | 2 | 2
2 | 2 | 2 | 1


Ideas?

You can use Word's Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge facility for this (the terminology depends on the Word version). To see how to do so with any mailmerge data source supported by Word, check out my Microsoft Word Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge Tutorial at:
http://windowssecrets.com/forums/sho...merge-Tutorial
or
http://www.gmayor.com/Zips/Catalogue%20Mailmerge.zip

The tutorial covers everything from list creation to the insertion & calculation of values in multi-record tables in letters. Do read the tutorial before trying to use the mailmerge document included with it.

For a worked example that approximates what you're after, see:
http://windowssecrets.com/forums/sho...l=1#post928391
Although the example there uses a 4-column section layout to achieve the effect, the principle applies to other columns layouts as well.

Alternatively, you may want to try one of the Many-to-One Mail Merge add-ins, from:
Graham Mayor at http://www.gmayor.com/ManyToOne.htm; or

Default Thanks...but

I've seen this response on other discussion boards. And while it is helpful, I have already figured out how to do these things.

What I cannot figure out is how to display the merged information from the spreadsheet vertically, rather than horizontally. Usually, each new line in the Word document is a new record. I want to display data from two different records in the spreadsheet on the same line in the Word document.

If you want to output two consecutive records, simply replicate the mergefields concerned and insert a NextRecord field between the first and second sets.
