There is still a rather complex example at
http://suzleigh.com/MERGE.aspx
but I don't know how long she will leave it up there. (I keep meaning to
progress my own samples but am not quite ready yet!)

Thank you very much.
It looks complicated but I'm sure once I read it properly and try to use
it
things will become clearer.
Thanks again.

Hello,
I am not sure I really know how/when/whether to use New Record.
I have a spreadsheet with lists of of electricians' drawings - which
are
batched.
I would like to do a mail merge in word into a table but so that the
new
record happens only when the batch number changes. For example batch 1
might
have 10 drawings, batch 2 only 8.
Ideally I would like to merge into a word table, with a new table
starting
every time there is a new batch number.
If that's not possible I would at least like to filter and merge only 1
batch at a time. Because of the way I am setting my table up, it is
merging,
but starting a new single line table for every apartment number as
opposed
to
a 10 line table when the batch number changes.
What am I doing wrong ?
I hope my explanation is clear enough for somebody to be able to advise
me.
Many thanks. Jackie
