Thanks, Doug. And, yes, I do believe I may be a secret masochist. The
requirements of survey reporting, such as explanations of method and
statistical development--not to mention heavy-duty text selection and
manipulation on a survey with multiple comment fields--couples with my
abysmal knowledge of Access reporting to push me in the direction of
self-flagellation. If I had a spare week, I'd probably invest in a course in
Crystal Reports. Besides, the printing outfit I use is still using a couple
dozen monks with quill pens to copy and illuminate my text submissions.
Anything beyond a Word file may be lost on them.

You should use a report in Access. It is far easier and more capable than
Word for this type of thing.
However, if you are a masochist, see the "Group Multiple items for a single
condition" item on fellow MVP Cindy Meister's website at

The purpose of the document is to serve as a survey report, where the
survey
was collected in Access 2003 and the report will be developed in Word
2000.
The problem: From queries with two fields, Town and Comment, how can I set
up the Town field to be a parent to a list of bulletted comment fields?
As:
Town1
*Comment1
*Comment2
Town2
*Comment1
*Comment2
*Comment3
....etc.
I've searched the group, but I may be unaware of the right key words for
this problem.
Thank you in advance for your help!
