Sounds like you may be trying to perform a "multiple items per condition
(=key field)" mailmerge which Word does not really have the ability to do:
See the "Group Multiple items for a single condition" item on fellow MVP

I have a directory style merge document that extracts data from an external
source based on the criteria I select using the add recipients button.
This merged report is run many times in one session with the 12-15
different
individual reports created based on different recipient criteria.
Rather than manually going through the process of changing the recipient
information for eachreport, is there a way I can automate this document,
so
that at a push of a button perhaps, all the reports are calculated based
on
their individual criteria without any user input?
