Merging data from Unix to Windows

by janny . Updated 24 years, 10 months ago

Using a UNIX database for data and merging using text or comma quote type files to transfer data to Windows (Word) for use in merge documents — Why does Word delete/hide some records, specifically those at the end of the page/section in the merge shell document. The records have been transferred from the Unix system and are in the records document, but do not appear in the merged document. How does one eliminate the page breaks/sections breaks put in by Word at the end of the original shell document? Eliminating the section break codes from the original shell document seems to work. But if the number of records merged is more than the number of lines in the original shell document, the document starts a new page and loses the record that would fall at page end or page top. Why?
