Each class begins with a unique identifier, i.e., 104DA, or 216HS, followed
by the name of the class. Unfortunately, each class is not in its own field.
The fields are set up by day and type of class (Wednesday full day has 6
different classes in the column or field, Thursday half day AM has 4
different classes, etc.).
I just tried an If...Then statement in the header using both equals the
total name of a class and Not Blank. Neither returned the class name
provided. And I tried just the merge field and got a blank header.


If the classes are numbered, you could probably use some sort of field in
the header. Can you provide more information about how the classes are
identified?

Sorry, I'm trying to automate this as much as possible since there are
over
100 classes.

I would suggest merging all the names first, into an ordinary
catalog/directory merge. After you've merged to a new document, insert
section breaks between classes and put the class names in the header, or
just insert page breaks and put the class name at the top of the page.

Using Word2007, I'm trying to create class rosters or a list of names
of
students for specific classes in one document. I would like to have
the
class name appear at the top of the page and the students listed below.
I
can get one list using "skip if blank" and "if..then", but the class
name
keeps repeating for every record. I know I can put the class name in
the
header, but I'd like to have more than one class in the document. The
data
document is an excel file.
I haven't even tried to do more than one class in the document. Is
that
possible? Some students (which is what the individual records are based
on)
are in more than one class.
