I have an Excel with records like this:
class description owner
class description owner
class description owner
class description owner
...
...

The list is sorted by class. Most often, there are numerous records with the same class. To save page space and improve appearence I want to format for printing like this:

class


description owner
description owner
description owner

class
description owner
description owner
description owner
description owner

I understand the basics of MM but can't figure out how to do this. Any help appreciated.

TIA

You can use Word's Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge facility for this (the terminology depends on the Word version). To see how to do so with any mailmerge data source supported by Word, check out my Microsoft Word Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge Tutorial at:
http://windowssecrets.com/forums/sho...ngs-(2000-2010)
or
http://www.gmayor.com/Zips/Catalogue%20Mailmerge.zip
The tutorial covers everything from list creation to the insertion & calculation of values in multi-record tables in letters. Do read the tutorial before trying to use the mailmerge document included with it.

For some worked examples, see the attachment to the posts at:

Alternatively, you may want to try one of the Many-to-One Mail Merge add-ins, from:
