Default Mail merge with data in columns

Need some help. I'm trying to do a mail merge with data from an Access table. The issue is that my word document has a table with 3 columns with sections that need to be populated. I'm able to populate the first column going down correctly but the minute I add the merge fields to the second column the data now goes in order from left to right across both columns instead of first merging down the first column and then starting back up with the next record in the second column. I need it to read like newspaper columns. I've been at this for hours and just can't figure this out. Help!

This sounds like a many to one mail merge - see Merge Many To One however the process described will only work with an Excel table.
