I'm working on a mail merge from excel. On some pages, the data comes over and is mostly spaced evenly but on other pages is spaced all over. Is there a way to get all the spacing to be consistent on each page so it doesn't look so sloppy?

I've tried to put the merge fields into a table, but when there isn't any data on the additional lines there is a huge wasted space where the empty lines from the table are.

Should i be formatting something on the excel spreadsheet to stop this from happening?

The OMPACTO is whats jumping all around.

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Mailmerge output formatting is handled entirely in Word. Your description suggests you have an issue with unsuitable paragraph formatting in Word.
