Are there nine separate fields, some of which may be blank, or are there up
to nine records that make up the one packing list?
If the latter, check out fellow MVP Macropod's Word 97-2007
Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge
Tutorial at:
http://www.wopr.com/index.php?showtopic=731107
or
http://www.gmayor.com/Zips/Catalogue%20Mailmerge.zip
Do read the tutorial before trying to use the mailmerge document included
with it.
If the former, there is really no way to do this with mail merge alone. You
would have to run a macro after executing the merge to delete rows from the
table where there was no information in the particular cell that was blank.
Alternatively, a "roll-your-own" VBA based equivalent to mail merge.

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a packing list mail merge. I've got 9 items in
total,
some record will have all items and some just a few. My data source is an
Excel workbook.
What I would like is to set up a table containing the fields but if the
field contains a zero then the table row should not appear.
Any help or suggestions would be brilliant!
Cheers
