Default Merging variable length fields

I need to produce billing statements that show the activity on an account for
the year. The number of transactions per document could vary from 1 to N.
Is there a way to use mail merge into a template to bring in this list for
each account? If not, how would you accomplish this?

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

Or take a look at the following Knowledge Base Article
