Default Karaoke Song Book via Directory Avoid Dups/Create Nested Listings

Hello,

I'm trying to make a karaoke song book using an excel database I have along
with Microsoft Word 2002. I've successfully created a table with
Singer/Song/Id. The challenge that I have is that I would like to have a way
to avoid printing duplicate artist fields when multiple songs exist for that
particular artist.

For example, right now the table looks something like this:

Artist Title ID
Jackson Billy 5
Jackson P.Y.T. 6
Jackson Song 7

But instead, I'd like the system to "group" the artist (in this case
"jackson") so it looks like this:

Jackson
Billy 5
P.Y.T. 6
Song 7

Is there a way to do that?

Jay
