Default Mail Merge with Access Report (grouping levels equivalent)

In that case, I would be creating a "roll-your-own" equivalent to mailmerge
using VBA. It is definitely not something that Word can do out of the box.

For simple things, like your example, you can probably get by with the
procedures in the following links, but I doubt that will be suitable for
your task

I would too! Problem is, we need to send the form off to a client who
make electronic amendments in Word. The form is in a format they
designed with lots of borders and shading, quite complicated. So I
need to keep the formatting, and be able to edit in word, the only to
this is using mail merge I believe. The form isn't actually orders as
per my example above, it's project details and costs, but the idea is
the same.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
