Removing Section Breaks after mail merge into a defined table

I am doing a mail merge and have set up the merge fields in a table.  I have set the merge template for 1 record followed by the merge field <<next record>>. I perform the merge and then try to delete the section breaks that are created and I am not able to.  If I do the same merge without the tables I can successfully remove the section breaks.  is the inability to remove the section breaks because I am using tables or is there a different way to remove them?  The method I use is "find and replace" so I identify the section break special character and replace it with a blank.
Answer
Answer
Change the mail merge main document to a Directory type main document and dispense with the «Next Record» field.
Hope this helps,
