Merging info from Access into Word document
microsoft office novice 12/8/2008 8:50:18 PM
Hi,

I am trying to do a merge document. It is basically a memo but within the
memo I need to put the person's schedule which I keep in Access. It is
linking to access fine and allowing me to insert the merge fields but when it
gets to the end where you merge, it gives me a seperate memo for every item
on the person's schedule so they are getting 3-5 memo's rather than 1 with
all of their schedule information on it. Oh I should mention that I am
running office 2007

Hi,

To do this you need to use what is commonly known as a Catalogue or Directory mailmerge. To see how to do this kind of mailmerge and
use it to output groups of records on a single page, check out my tutorial at:
