Default Mail merge with months skipped when duplicate

From your description you are trying to create a merge list.This is not
exactly straightforward

How to use mail merge to create a list sorted by category -

If this is a one-off table why not create it in Excel and paste it into
Word?

Hello,
I would like o create a table in Word 2003 with dates. The first
line of my table must be used for the months, and the second line is
for the days. These dates must be incremented for every column
change. The problem is that I must only have the month displayed
whenever it changes. I thought of doing a mail merge where the dates
are obtained from Excel (one column for the days and another for the
months) I am unsure as to how to indicate that the month field must
be skipped for duplicates, but that the date change must always go to
the next record. Thanks,
Catherine
