You must have fields in your data source that provide this information. In
the example you cite, in addition to the First Name, Last Name, Title, Address1, City, State, ZIP, etc., you would also have to have a Salutation field that provides the first names. You then insert the merge fields as required. -- Suzanne S.

Dear Suzanne:
thank you for your response. I can get everything but I cannot get the "and Carol" part into the salutation. This is what has me stumped. There is something I am not doing right.

You must have a Salutation data field that contains the text "John and
Carol." Alternatively, if you already have data fields that contain both names (and if every salutation will contain two names) you can insert merge fields for the two first-name data fields, separated by "and." -- Suzanne S.
