Default skip records in mail merge

That is a good idea. Thank you. I will try to implement it. But I am
wondering if Mail merge can say skip 'x' number of records. That way the
data file can be used as is.

I have a data file where fields in a record are listed one below the
other i.e. a record is not a line. Each record is made up of 50
lines. I need to extact the address to print labels. The address is
located every 20 through 25th line. In mail merge is there a way to
skip a constant number of lines?
