Thanks so much, Paul! Very interesting method, however I didn't manage to get it to work... I very closely followed the second link in your post using the exact same data and it just gave me an error message when trying to Preview Results.

Regardless, correct me if I'm wrong but I think I need to keep my main word document as a "Directory" mailmerge; in the same document I have a few paragraphs with blanks that need to be automatically filled using the mailmerge.

Please let me know if you happen to be aware of any other solutions that respect this "Directory" constraint I have. I would love to give them a go!
