How do I get around the inane "recipient" restrictions in Word to just do a
pure merge of data from an Excel spreadsheet into a Word doc with
mergefields? 2007 is making me crazy because it won't let you do anything
but a mail merge and I am trying to create a SINGLE document with multiple
mergefields and multiple records per field that will display all data in the
same document. I have set up an Excel spreadsheet with all of my mergefield
names as headers and all of the relevant data in the column beneath the
appropriate header. I have set up my Word doc with the mergefields and Next
record indicators in tables where I know I have more than one value per
mergefield. How do I get Word to stop trying to create multiple docs with
the merge data?

you are trying to perform a "multiple items per condition (=key
field)" mailmerge which, "out of the box", Word does not really have the
ability to do:

See the "Group Multiple items for a single condition" item on fellow MVP
