Word 2003 Mail Merge to a Form
I feel so dumb... can anyone help?
I know quite a bit about mail merge, using them for about 10 years with no problems. I have a 20 page Word 2003 doc, which has some of the same database fields repeated throughout, eg at the top of so many pages. I also have a list of names, that are repeated twice in the document. All the data is in a Word document, as a data source. When I merge it, the first page merges nicely, and then if something is repeated further in the document, it won't merge again - it just comes up blank. Ther merge fields are correct in the main document and I have used "Next record" when appropriate in relation to the list of names. Is Word 2003 able to produce such a document, or am I missing something? Please help! -- Tracy |

Word 2003 Mail Merge to a Form
It's a little bit hard to tell from your post exactly what it is that you
are trying to do, but one thing is for sure, once you insert a Next Record field in a document, you cannot get the data from the previous record to appear in the document in a place that is after that Next Record field. It maybe that 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 Article http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;211303 or at: http://cornell.veplan.net/article.aspx?&a=3815 -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "trac_lappa" wrote in message ... I feel so dumb... can anyone help?
