Hi -
I tried doing it through an access report then merging to word, but it
doesn't keep the formatting or the pictures, or anything. Just the data. I
have already created a word template that links to the query, but I can't get
the catagory sort to work. Can someone help me get this to work using word?
I know it can be done.
PLEASE????

It is tricky to set up which is why I had said to read the tutorial first
and even then, you must do it exactly as described.
As I had also mentioned, I would do it with a report in access using the
grouping facility with a group header and footer to cover the information
for each person and the detail section of the report for the dependent's
details.

I have gone through the whole tutorial, but for some reason, I can not get
the same results that the tutotirial gets in each scenario. It just
repeats
the same row of data rather than moving on to the next record.

While I would do the whole thing in Access, fellow MVP Macropod has put
together a"Word 97-2007 Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge Tutorial" that
should
show you how to do it with mailmerge. You can download it from:
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 as you must get the mail merge main document set up exactly as
required.

I need some help. I have an access query that I run that pulls a
person's
information and repeats that information in rows for each of their
dependants.
I need to communicate with these persons via email and fax. I would
like
to
use Word's merge capabilities to do so, but when I build the
information
into
word, I get a new page for each of the persons dependants. This will
cause
them to get several faxes and emails. I want to send them one
email/fax
that
lists the persons information and then lists their depedant's
information.
I'd also like to sort this by their company. So I want to categorize
the
email by company name, person, and person's dependants. How do I go
about
doing this, and it is even possible?
