Conditional Fields..
I have 2 Regions called Region 1 and Region 2. Reg 1 has 4 divisions; Div 1,
div 2 etc. Reg 2 has only 2 divisions. Can I create a mergeed document that creates the line "Your region 1 has the following divisions: ........(it would then say 1 2 3 & 4)". For the reg ion 2 document it would only have division 1 & 2. I know this is confusing but the data I am trying to merge has many more regions and divisions. Thanks. |

Hi ?B?R0g=?=,
I have 2 Regions called Region 1 and Region 2. Reg 1 has 4 divisions; Div 1, div 2 etc. Reg 2 has only 2 divisions. Can I create a mergeed document that creates the line "Your region 1 has the following divisions: ........(it would then say 1 2 3 & 4)". For the reg ion 2 document it would only have division 1 & 2. I know this is confusing but the data I am trying to merge has many more regions and divisions. In the mail merge FAQ on my website, take a look at the discussion on one-to-many mail merges. There are links to examples of the three workarounds discussed. From your description, the KB article using SET and IF fields should work...

Conditional Fields..
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.
