I have a Word document set up for Mail Merge, and I'm trying to incorporate
data from Excel into the merged document.

I'm developing a Bid Manual, and I'm creating 45 individual bid specs. Each
merged record needs to have its own unique (table/list/data--whatever way I
can get it into Word!)---this data is currently residing in 45 cell ranges (4
columns each, varying number of rows) in an Excel spreadsheet.

Oh, and I'm trying to make this process as automated as possible, since the
end users of this project will have minimum skills in Word or Excel.

I've tried all kinds of macros, links, etc. and I'm not getting
anywhere....anyone have any ideas???

I may have JUST the thing, RRemy.

Hi ?B?UlJlbXk=?=,

Have you tried using a Database field to bring in the tables/lists from Excel
into a merge document? If not, see the article on my website for "one-to-many"
and the link to the sample file that describes how to do this.
