How do I page with a change in data value?
I'm using Word 2003. I've done a mail merge with an excel spreadsheet. The
worksheet has fields for a name, date, and customer. Several rows can be associated with one name. I've gotten my word document to show the different dates and customers on one page with the Nextif field; however, I want it to page with a change in name. I'm assuming a have to write a macro--because I don't see a mailmerge field I can use. |

Sounds like you are probably trying to perform a "multiple items per
condition (=key field)" mailmerge which Word does not really have the ability to do: See the "Group Multiple items for a single condition" item on fellow MVP Cindy Meister's website at http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindy...faq1.htm#DBPic Or take a look at the following Knowledge Base Article http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;211303 http://www.knowhow.com/Guides/Compou...poundMerge.htm -- Hope this helps.

This helped somewhat. Unfortunately, I'm trying to e-mail Merge from Word on
a field called "Clinician_Name". If a clinician has more than one patient, i.e. 5, its sending 5 e-mails to that person (I used the Microsoft link/the other two were confusing).
