Hi Doug,

I don't understand why the merge type changed but, nothwithstanding that, the field coding worked in my testing and met the needs of
the wopr poster.

Hi Paul,

For some reason, the Landlord letter.doc opens up as a Letters type mail merge main document and has to be changed to a Directory
type document to get it to work.

The problem remains however that if you insert a merge field somewhere in the

Landlord General Information

Each time a tenant contacts the District to close their account, the account will automatically revert back to the landlord.

Please notify the PUD if the tenant has vacated the addresses and has not notified the PUD to close account.



that comes after the list of properties, that mergefield will display the data from the next (landlord) record in the datasource,
not data from the landlord whose list of properties is included in that letter.

Hi Kimberly,

For a working solution that you might be able to modify to suit your needs, see:
http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/show...?Number=723456
The example there is based on an Excel data source and requires you to insert a dummy 'last' data record into the data source.

I read the article from Cornell and the MS article 294686 and understand them and have been successful implementing them.
However, I'm wondering how to add other merge field(s) at the bottom of the page or after the multiple records only once (as if
they were in the header), but before the page break. For example an invoice: has header info at the top of the page, the middle
is multiple records (item, qty, price) and at the bottom a total for the entire invoice. I can get this total field from the data
source there is no need to sum). I can't figure out how to get the total field at the bottom without it showing multiple times.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated. "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote:

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
