Default Directory mail merge

Hi Simon,

Is this the same mailmerge process that was the subject of your post of 20 July?

If so, you need to embed the 'correspondence' within the body of the field coding, plus you'll need to add a dummy record at the end
of your data set in Excel. The process is a bit complicated, but you can see an example he

Hi,

I'm trying to prepare a mailmerge that is a letter with part of the
letter listing several rows of data to the recipient. The recipient
information is in the data file 5 times as there are then 5 pieces of
data that need listing in part of the letter before the letter is then
finished. There is some other information in the data file that needs
to go in the letter but that is supplied 5 times and is identical.

Hope that made sense? Can anyone help as i'm getting 5 letters out
each with one piece of the unique data as aposed to a list.

Many thanks
Simon
