Well, since William brought it up, have a look at the articles I wrote
for DBA's Many-To-Many e-zine quite a while ago about putting data
into Word:

One of the things I don't like about mail merge (and have never looked
hard enough at seeing if it's something I'm missing) is that if you do
a merge and want electronic docs at the end, you get one big long doc
with all the merged data in it. The data is separate for each record,
but all 5 reports are in 1 big doc.

Like I said, it may be a case of me not looking hard enough for the setting.
