I need to create a merged roster using two columns

I need to create a roster of names, address etc. in a Word document with a
centered heading at the top of the page, then underneath the heading, two
columns of merged data creating a roster. I am well versed on doing a merge
but I am not sure of the formatting to use to accomplish this.

You use a catalog/directory-type merge to a mail merge main document set up
in two newspaper-style columns. The single-column centered heading must be
either (a) placed in the document header or (b) added to the merged document
after the merge is completed; otherwise it will be repeated for every
record.

Probably the centred heading in the page header (the first page header if
you only want it to appear on the first page) of a directory type mail merge
main document with your fields arranged in the cells of a one row two,
column table

Thank you so much Suzanne,
that is exactly what I needed. I have never used the directory format and
had no clue as to it's use.

Glad that works for you. I do this sort of thing routinely for single-page
phone lists and the like.
