You are 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

forgot something - The Custid and Names need to only print once on the
letter. Only the Dept Desc and Totals are the lines that would continue
merging until the Custid field changed.

I am trying to use the Mail Merge function with Word to create letters.
The
data source is an Excel file that looks like below: What I need to know
how
to do is have the document merge the rows from excel until there is a
change
in Custid. Once there is a change in the Custid, have it give a grand
total
for the Total2005 and Total2004, then do a page break to start the next
document. I have it merging from excel, but its just merging one row at a
time, then does a page break. Any ideas?
