John,

This is just off the top of my head, and totally untested.

You will need a "master" merge document. Create this first. It 
should be just a blank doc to start.

Run the bookmark merge, one record at a time. Save that 
document temporarily.

Insert the "temp" document you just created at the end of the 
"master" merge document. and loop. You may want to kill the temp 
doc after you have inserted it. Also, you will need to insert a page 
break after you insert the file so that the next doc starts at the top 
of the next page.

This will give you one document with all the resulting merges in 
one.

Just as a side note, the master document I'm talking about here 
does NOT have anything to do with Word's Master Document 
feature. It's just a plain jane blank document that will hold the 
resulting merges.
