Word merge does not readily lend itself to this sort of task, but for an
example of how it may be done, see :

I am trying to perform a mail merge that will result in several
thousand salary agreements. Each salary agreement will have a person's
name, job and salary. The problem is that most people have several
jobs hence they occupy several rows in the list. When I perform the
mail merge people with more than one job appear os a separate
letter. I am having difficulty figuring out how to combine each
person's job onto one letter.

This is what my list looks like

Name...............Job..................Salary
John Doe..........Teacher..........39,000
John Doe..........Coach...............2,000
Mary Smith.......Teacher............40,000
Mary Smith........Club Advisor......1,000

When I perform a typical mail merge separate letters are generated for
each job because the mail merge sees each row as a separate record. I
need to find a strategy to create one letter for each name with each
job listed.

Is there a mail-merge trick I can use to combine the jobs into a
single

letter?
