Hi all,
I'm am currently designing a page for work that uses a Mail Merge to pull different information onto one page.
My question is, is it possible to amalgamate multiple lines if they have the same reference onto one page;

I'm getting this;
(page 1)
Joe Bloggs / Order number 101
Item 6 / oranges


(page 2)
Joe Bloggs / Order number 101
Item 45 / apples
(page 3)
John Smith / Order number 102
Item 12 / Bananas
Would like this;
(page 1)
Joe Bloggs / Order number 101
Item 6 / oranges
Item 45 / apples
(page 2)
John Smith / Order number 102
Item 12 / Bananas

Apologies if the answer is really simple and I'm just being an epic noob. I have tried to use the Rules function in multiple ways but it always creates the page multiple times, rather than amalgamating the information.

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...merge-Tutorial
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 attachments to the posts at:

Alternatively, you may want to try one of the Many-to-One Mail Merge add-ins, from:
Graham Mayor at http://www.gmayor.com/ManyToOne.htm; or
Doug Robbins at http://bit.ly/1hduSCB

In addition to a 'Many to One' merge, the latter handles:
• Merge with Charts
• Duplex Merge
• Merge with FormFields
• Merge with Attachments
• Merge to Individual Documents
• Merge, Print and Staple
