email merge - several records should go to 1 address
I am trying to do an email merge to email authors about their articles. In
my data file, there is one record per article and sometimes an author will have written several articles. If I do a straight email merge, the author would get a different email for each article - but I want each author to get just ONE email which would list all of their articles. I have tried using the suggestions about duplicate records but that only seems to work for merging to Word document -- as you have to set up your document as a Directory (or catalog). This doesn't work for email merge. Here are the links I was using: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211303 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302665. Is there a way to do this same sort of thing but merging to email? I'm using Word 2003. Thanks so much. Jackie |

Word does not really have the ability to do such "multiple items per
condition" merges, especially directly to email. I think the only way to achieve what you are after would be to use a purpose-specific VBA method. -- Hope this helps.

I was afraid that might be the case.
Thanks for your reply. |
