Given that your data is in an Access database, you should be using an Access
Report, not mailmerge.

Word does NOT have the ability to merge multiple items for a single
condition.

See the "Group Multiple items for a single condition" item on fellow MVP

But if I were you, I would use an Access Report!

Yes it does show this. It won't copy and paste onto here but it shows

{ NEXTIF { MERGEFIELD Problem_Description } "" }

In this Word document I have 11 rows that can be merged. I need to
find out how to make an append query that will append a variable number
of blank rows up to 11 where it needs to be the information from the
first row. What I was looking at is to make a query that counts the
number of rows and use that number to create the other query to append
my blank rows and another one to append the first row's information. I
wish there was an easier way to do this but it looks like there no way
to get around this. I hope you can help me.

Thank you.
