2000-2003 Merge Problem
Hi Mary,
You could use a SKIPF field in your mailmerge main document to skip all records for which the city name in the City mergefield isn't
the one you want. For example:
{SKIPIF«City» "London"}
where the field bracer (ie '{}') are created via Ctrl-F9 and the chevrons represent the mergefield delimiters.

I have a user who just upgraded from Word 2000 to Word 2003. She has a merge
file that uses a query from an Access 2000 database as the data source. The
data source comes into Word correctly, and she can do her merge. She has a
problem, though, when she only wants to merge certain records (e.g., only a
certain city). I
t appears that she now has to open the mail merge recipients screen and use
the City down arrow to choose the city she wants. The problem occurs when
she opens that screen. Her data source has 919 records, and it seems to hang
on record 666. She waited 25 minutes for all records to appear on the
screen, but after that, she stopped Word. This has happened more than once.
Any ideas?
