Word Merge Field with Multiple Records

I have an access database which i am trying to merge with MS word form. In the database i have multiple tables which i have queried and combined to one table.

I need to take the information in this table and merge with a word form which takes the Emp_No from the table and prints a form. In this form, i have multiple records for each Emp_No.

Example:

Emp_No. 1 might have 15 individual records (Proj_Comb)
while
Emp_No. 2 has only 3 individual records (Proj_Comb)

I need to have this form print all 15 records for Emp_No. 1 on one page (consecutively)and then move to Emp_No. 2 with their individual records on a separate page and so on and so on through the entire table. The common denominator for each record is the Emp_No field - it is the defined primary key in the database.

If the form didn't require additional formatting once merged i would simply use an access report but it requires that each user has the ability to format to their specifications once merged.

I know this is probably a very simple function i just have not worked enough with word merges to manage it. Any help would be appreciated.
