Sorry Graham,
now I have understood. It was not clear to me that inside the "Catalogue
Mailmerge Tutorial.doc" there are the mailmerge fields that have to be copied
to the "Mailmerge Main Document".
It was due most probably to my bad english. Sorry for that. In any case
after having understood the tutorial I still have the problem. I did the
following steps:
1. Opened the "Mailmerge Main Document.doc" clicking yes to perform the
query and connect data source
2. Copied «Representative» and «Sales» fields from page 3 of the tutorial
3. Pasted the fileds on "Mailmerge Main Document".
4. Pushed the preview button to see the results. This is what it is showed:
ACT Canberra
Yang $2.100
5. Pushing the next button to see the following record I see
Roulston $4.000
So the first row disappered. This happen also for the following records and
also if I come back to the first record. The first record shows just the
following row
Yang $2.100
But the more strange thing that happen is: going back to steps 1 to 4, if
instead of pushing the next button, I simply iconize the word application, as
soon as I restore it the first row disappered.

Graham, I don't mind about the popup message, it's not a problem, the
problem is that the page is blank even if I press SHIFT+F9 or ALT +
F9 (in my italian version). No fields are shown.
Do you have any other example that I can try?
Thanks
Fabio

Hi Graham,
yes I have the data source correctly sorted and I have choosen the
document type directory.
The strange behaviour is that I have downloaded also the macopod's
example files and they dont' work neither on my PC with Word and
excel 2007, nor in another machine with excel and word 2003.
As soon as I open the word file a popup window appears saying:
"If you open this document the following command will be executed:
Select * from c:\users\Waramanga\Documents\System\Catalogue Merge
Data.xls Do you want to continue?"
If I click on "Yes" a blank page opens. I have verified if the data
source is connected and it is.
Do you think that could be a problem the office language? I have
Word and Excel in Italian.

Did you have the data source sorted by location and did you set the

Fellow MVP 'macropod' has posted a tutorial on this, with working
field codes and a sample Excel data source, at:

Hi I'm trying to implement the following mail merge
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294686/en-us
I followed the instructon perfectly but it doesn't work. The
result should be: Atlanta
Galos $3,000
Delaney $50,000
Henningsen $10,000
Houston
Johnson $8,000
Kelly $9,000
Pak $0
But in my case I obtain
Atlanta
Galos $3,000
Atlanta
Delaney $50,000
... etc
so the grouping mechanism doesnt' work. It seem that the MERGESEQ
didn't
work and also the carriage return (ENTER key). I'm using excel and
word 2007
_______________________________________
This is the script. Field braces are inserted pressing CTRL+F9 and
the carriage return is done by press the ENTER key.
{ IF { MERGESEQ } = "1" "{ MERGEFIELD CITY }¶
" "" }{ SET Place1 { MERGEFIELD CITY }}¶
{ If { Place2 } { Place1 }"¶
