Formatting Mail Merge

I have a mail merge set up that brings in a record that consists of 3
seperate file names. It brings the file names into a vertical column.
Is there any way to manipulate mail merge so that it splits the 3
filenames and puts 16 of them where they currently are in the firs
column and the last 16 into the third column (in a 4 column table)?

If you are actually merging a single record with 32 fields, then you should
be able to insert the first 16 fields exactly where you want and the other
16 fields exactly where you want.

But if your "record with 32 different file names" is really "32 records,
each with a file name" then you will probably need to insert multiple copies
of the same field ( e.g. { MERGEFIELD myfilename } or <<myfilename>> ), and
put a { NEXT } (<<Next record>>) field before each one except the first.

If neither of those describes what you are actually attempting, please try
to spell out exactly what you have in your data source and exactly what
output you are trying to create.
