i have a spreadhseet with multiples lines of data for each of john doe, sue
doe, and bill doe. i want to merge a letter to each of them, but the
merge
wants to make a new letter for each line of john bill and sue doe, instead
of
grouping all the john entries into one letter, etc. any idea how to get
the
merge to create a new letter for each change in addressee, instead of one
letter per line of data? thanks!
