Default merging using pivot table data

I've created a pivot table that has ALL the fields/data I need.

it's basically a program listing that has the session title, details, and
the speaker(s) for each session. I am trying to create a WOrd document to
send to each speaker that details their session, including any
co-speakers/panelists.

I've tried merging using a STOP (lastspeaker = true) in an IF THEN ELSE but
it didn't stop so now I'm trying the pivot table but that's not working
either.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Default merging using pivot table data

It is possible that you can achieve what you want using the method in fellow
MVP Macropod's "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 as you must get the mail merge main document set up exactly as
required.

Possibly using your original data (or a modification of it as required by
this method) may be better than the pivot table.
