Force page break
You are 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 Articles http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;302665 http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;294686 Or, if you create a Catalog (on in Word XP and later, it's called Directory) type mailmerge main document with the mergefields in the cells of a one row table in the mailmerge main document with the keyfield in the first cell in the row and then execute that merge to a new document and then run the following macro, it will create separate tables with the records for each key field in them. With a bit of further development, you may be able to get it to do what you want. ' Macro to create multiple items per condition in separate tables from a directory type mailmerge Dim source As Document, target As Document, scat As Range, tcat As Range Dim data As Range, stab As Table, ttab As Table Dim i As Long, j As Long, k As Long, n As Long Set source = ActiveDocument Set target = Documents.Add Set stab = source.Tables(1) k = stab.Columns.Count Set ttab = target.Tables.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, numrows:=1, numcolumns:=k - 1) Set scat = stab.Cell(1, 1).Range scat.End = scat.End - 1 ttab.Cell(1, 1).Range = scat j = ttab.Rows.Count For i = 1 To stab.Rows.Count Set tcat = ttab.Cell(j, 1).Range tcat.End = tcat.End - 1 Set scat = stab.Cell(i, 1).Range scat.End = scat.End - 1 If scat tcat Then ttab.Rows.Add j = ttab.Rows.Count ttab.Cell(j, 1).Range = scat ttab.Cell(j, 1).Range.Paragraphs(1).PageBreakBefore = True ttab.Rows.Add ttab.Cell(j + 1, 1).Range.Paragraphs(1).PageBreakBefore = False For n = 2 To k Set data = stab.Cell(i, n).Range data.End = data.End - 1 ttab.Cell(ttab.Rows.Count, n - 1).Range = data Next n Else ttab.Rows.Add For n = 2 To k Set data = stab.Cell(i, n).Range data.End = data.End - 1 ttab.Cell(ttab.Rows.Count, n - 1).Range = data Next n End If Next i -- Hope this helps.

I have a list of names and each name has a number of addresses associated with it. The goal is to create a mail merge document that lists all addresses for a name and then page breaks for a different name. ( Also the name should not repeat it self for the different addresses ..see exmaple format below) How do I force a page break when the name changes. I read a KB article that described it but it assumes that we we can put a "check" number on the last address that appears for that name. I dont know the number of addresses a name would be associated with?? End results Column 1 Column 2 John Smith Address1 Address2 Address N page break John Doe Address1 Address N |
