Default HELP - Challenging Merge Question for Word 2003

You can insert fields manually in any version of Word. 2003 has a 'wizard'
that tends to get in the way, but you don't have to use it - see

Hi Doug - thanks for the reply. I really think this article could
help me if it provided the steps using Word 2003. The steps listed
in the article seem to be from an earlier version and I am unable to
replicate them. Any ideas?? =======================

Hi, I'm trying to create a mailmerge using an excel spreadsheet.
Within the
spreadsheet I have primary and secondary records. They are sorted
by a code
and an indicator of Primary vs. Secondary. (All records for a code
are grouped together with Primary listed first.) The secondary
record can be as
little as no records or as many as 10 records. What I'd like to do
is merge
the Primary record into a form in Word, then merge by the Secondary
record(s)
in the same form. After the code changes, I want it to move on to
the next
form and begin again. Any ideas?

I.e.,
Record 1 - Primary #1
Record 2 - Secondary #1
Record 3 - Secondary #2

Next Page

Record #4 - Primary #2
Record #5 - Secondary #1

Next Page

Record #6 - Primary #3

Next Page

Record #7 - Primary #4
Record #8 - Secondary #1
Record #9 - Secondary #2
Record #10 - Secondary #3
Record #11 - Secondary #4

Next Page

(Etc.)
