Sounds like you are probably trying to perform a "multiple items per
condition (=key field)" mailmerge which Word does not really have the
ability to do:
See the "Group Multiple items for a single condition" item on fellow MVP
Cindy Meister's website at
http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindy...faq1.htm#DBPic
Or take a look at the following Knowledge Base Article
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;211303
http://cornell.veplan.net/article.aspx?&a=3815
Or, if you create a Catalog (on in Word XP and later, it's called Directory)
type mailmerge main document with the mergefields in the cells of a one row
table in the mailmerge main document with the keyfield in the first cell in
the row and then execute that merge to a new document and then run the
following macro, it will create separate tables with the records for each
key field in them. With a bit of further development, you may be able to
get it to do what you want.
' Macro to create multiple items per condition in separate tables from a
directory type mailmerge
Dim source As Document, target As Document, scat As Range, tcat As Range
Dim data As Range, stab As Table, ttab As Table
Dim i As Long, j As Long, k As Long, n As Long
Set source = ActiveDocument
Set target = Documents.Add
Set stab = source.Tables(1)
k = stab.Columns.Count
Set ttab = target.Tables.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, numrows:=1,
numcolumns:=k - 1)
Set scat = stab.Cell(1, 1).Range
scat.End = scat.End - 1
ttab.Cell(1, 1).Range = scat
j = ttab.Rows.Count
For i = 1 To stab.Rows.Count
Set tcat = ttab.Cell(j, 1).Range
tcat.End = tcat.End - 1
Set scat = stab.Cell(i, 1).Range
scat.End = scat.End - 1
If scat tcat Then
ttab.Rows.Add
j = ttab.Rows.Count
ttab.Cell(j, 1).Range = scat
ttab.Cell(j, 1).Range.Paragraphs(1).PageBreakBefore = True
ttab.Rows.Add
ttab.Cell(j + 1, 1).Range.Paragraphs(1).PageBreakBefore = False
For n = 2 To k
Set data = stab.Cell(i, n).Range
data.End = data.End - 1
ttab.Cell(ttab.Rows.Count, n - 1).Range = data
Next n
Else
ttab.Rows.Add
For n = 2 To k
Set data = stab.Cell(i, n).Range
data.End = data.End - 1
ttab.Cell(ttab.Rows.Count, n - 1).Range = data
Next n
End If
Next i

...
I have an excell document with the following columns:
"OrderSort;NameSort;Acct#;Type;Name1;Name2;Street; SSN;Shares"
I need to group data according to Street Address, then Name1 and/or
Name1/Name2.
If Name1 (Sally) has three accounts at same street address, all three
lines
of info goes on one page. If there is a second Name1 (Jeff) at that
address,
his lines of info go on a seperate page, If there is a Name1 and Name2
(Joint
account) at that address, it goes on yet another page. Then the next
address
gets sorted, then the next. etc....
I need for Word to merge 1 group of data onto my one page/template and
then
take the next group of data and start a new page using same template, then
next group on next page, etc....
Is there a way to do this?!
(I could post an acutal sample file of my data if someone tells me how)
