Mail Merge with Info on different lines.
richge 10/7/2008 4:03:02 PM
I'm doing a mail merge with an Excel Database. Information about the
employee, his spouse and dependents is on separate lines. All members are
listed under the employees social security #. In the merge I need the
employees name on the first line, the spouse's name on the next line and
dependants' names on separate lines under that. How can I get the merge to
pick up the info on the next lines under the employee's social security #,
but go to the next social # after it has picked up all dependants?

Thanks.
