I have been asked to do a mailmerge between an Excel file and a Word
Document, the excel file has 2 groupd of contact names (Agent / Personal), the personal is always unique, but the Agent will be repeated depending on how many times the agent is needed. I wish to merge a document based on the Agent, but only have 1 document produced whenever the agent name changes. The problem is that I need a way of, on that single document, displaying all of the other contact details of the personal fields. Is there away of doing this? |

Sounds like you are probably trying to perform a "multiple items per
condition (=key field)" mailmerge which Word does not really have the ability to do: See the "Group Multiple items for a single condition" item on fellow MVP Cindy Meister's website at http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindy...faq1.htm#DBPic Or take a look at the following Knowledge Base Article http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;211303 or at http://www.knowhow.com/Guides/Compou...poundMerge.htm -- Hope this helps.

Thank you, that seems like it will do the job (I've only glanced at it, and
will have a better look soon). Thanks again.
