Hi Doug,

Thank you for all of the additional suggestions, will certainly try them
and do much research! I have Word 2003. I am sure something is bound to
work. Thanks again,

Nancy

Hi Nancy,

For that method, you have to preview the merge data, one record at a time,
and print as you go, which is probably not feasible if you want to do it for
4,500 people, though as Cindy says, the process could be automated so that
the preview and printing could be done automatically.

If you are using Word XP or later, I would recommend that you investigate
the fourth method - "Creating the charts on the fly as the mailmerge
executes in the main merge document"

However, to learn a bit about the use of database fields, the following
links may help:

Hello Doug, thanks for responding. I am trying to do a mail merge from
excel
into word that adds an individual pie chart (pre-calculates) for each
person
into the mail merge letter. The quantity of people is large (4500) so it
would be hard to do individually. I thought that the suggestion (number 2)
on
Cindy's website sounded like it may help, although the link that it tells
you
how to do it was the one I wanted to read. I have searched the discussion
groups to see what other people have done, but most just refer you to
Cindy's
website for this. If you have any other suggestions that would be great.
Thanks again, Nancy

I can't find the specific link that you mention on that page, though
there
is a different one

http://www.knowhow.com/Guides/Compou...poundMeger.htm

on that page that I know no longer works.

Perhaps if you tell us what it is that you need help with, we may be able
to
provide it.
