Mail Merge - Grouping/Sorts
I want to do a mail merge, but have the results grouped (similar to a
report). For example, I want to do a single letter to each mailing address, but within the body of the letter list all the donations that person has made to our society. I can get the merge to happen (Access to Word), but it generates a new letter for each donation -- instead of a single letter with grouping of records associated with that address. I've read, re-read, and re-read again the mail merge sections of my manual and still cannot untangle this. My gray hairs are multiplying at an alarming rate, as I have thousands of these to do. Anyone with suggestions or the answer? |

Mail Merge - Grouping/Sorts
Word isn't really geared for this kind of thing - since you are using
Access, for example, you should be able to do what you need using the Access report designer. However, to attempt it in Word, see the following articles: http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindy...faq1.htm#DBPic http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;211303 http://www.knowhow.com/Guides/Compou...poundMerge.htm Peter Jamieson "oldladyonhill" wrote in message oups.com...
