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

In my excel worksheet the name of one indivudial is listed several times,
with each line containing a differnt job. I need to list all jobs on the
same
letter in word. When I try to merge this, it gives me a new letter for
each
job.....not each name. How can I fix this.......let me add, I am not that
good in either word or excel. lol
