Possible to add a leading page for a directory merge?
I have a directory merge, works great (Word 2003). However, I have to
manually add a title page after the merge is done. I have tried to add a title page to the merge document itself, but (of course) during the merge the leading page is simply replicating beneath each directory entry. Is it possible to add a title page to a merge document and have Word ignore it during a directory merge? Thanks much for any advice! James |

You may be able to set it up as a first page header.

Possible to add a leading page for a directory merge?
You may be able to put your title page as the "true" result of a nested IF
field that says { IF { MERGESEQ } = 1 "put all your first page text and formatting here, followed by a page break character" "" }then start the following text immediately here. NB, every pair of {} needs to be the special field code braces you can insert using ctrl-F9. However, if your directory is being used to create a table, that won't work because you will end up with a blank line between each table row. Peter Jamieson "JamesV" wrote in message ...
