Is it possible to create a numbered/bulleted list to obtain the following
form letter?:

Letter 1.
Tasks of emploee Name1:
1) task1
2) task2
*****************
Letter 2.
Tasks of emploee Name2:
1) task3
2) task4

where ... data from datafile.

What's the way to build that datafile which provides data for list?
Thank you for answer.

Word does not do this "out of the box", but to do the the employee/task
merge, in the general case I would look at macropod's material in the
first instance. I quote one of his messages:

"check out my Word 97-2007 Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge Tutorial at:
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."

Off the top of my head I could not tell you whether macropod covers
numbered lists, but if not,
a. Word's automatic paragraph numbering may work, but I suspect it
would be difficult to get right
b. if it does not work, you should be able to number paragraphs by
inserting a { SEQ } field at the beginning of the "task" line. You might
for example use the field code

{ SEQ task \r0 }

to reset the task numbering for each letter

and

{ SEQ task }

or

{ SEQ task \*Arabic }

to insert the number of each paragraph.
