Default Bulleting entries

Hi there,

I am currently using Microsoft Office 2004 for Macintosh. I'm trying to use
Data Merge to create some mass letters. I have an excel spreadsheet as my
data source, with the usual contact, address, title columns... Then I also
have several boolean columns called "Report 1", "Report 2", "Report 3",
"Report 4". Each of these four columns have either 0 and 1.

What I want to do in the Document is that for each record, if the value in
"Record 1", say, is "1", then i want to insert "Report 1" in the document.
However, I also want that "Report 1" text to be bulleted. The reason is that
I want to create a bullet list for the reports that this client wants. So if
for a particular client has Report1 = 1, Report2=0, Report3=0, Report4=1 Then
i want some output like:

* Report 1
* Report 2

In the document.

Is there some sort of special code I can add to the "Insert text if true"
section when i'm using "If...Then...Else" word field when creating my merge?
Or is there a better way?

Sorry if I didn't articulate what i'm asking well enough, first time using
Mail Merge.

Thanks in advance,

Iwan J
