not familar. is it possible to have word check an entry in excel say A:1 if
x in cell merge data specified in that row. if blank skip the row. without feeding paper when skipping rows. one post said you would get blank sheets when doing a similar execution. Have not done merge to be knowledgeable. Thanks |

mail merge
In theory you should be able to do that by opening the Mail Merge Recipients
dialog box (I'm assuming you're using Word 2002/2003) and using the drop-down in the label at the top of the column (let's assume the column is called "Selected") to select only the rows where the value is "x" (be careful about upper/lower case). Or use the Advanced... option in that drop-down to go to a "Query options" dialog where you can specify the same thing in a different way. I say "in theory" because there can be problems with selections with some data sources. But try that and see if it does what you need.
