Inserting merge fields
You will need to change your data file so that there is only one name in
each field, or merge to a new document and edit it manually. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org sphilip wrote: I have inserted a merge field in one of our documents. now if there are more than 2 entries into this field it appears as: Jack Nicholas, Danny Murphy.

Inserting merge fields
Create another field in your data file?
That is the easiest way to handle this. Anything else is going to require vba and I wouldn't know how to do it.
