Hi Tony,

You should probably use a Directory/Catalog (the terminology depends on the Word version) mailmerge for this, so that each customer gets a table with only as many rows as they require. To see how to do so with any mailmerge data source supported by Word, check out my Microsoft Word Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge Tutorial, in the 'Sticky' thread at the top of this forum:
Microsoft Word Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge Tutorial
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 a recent, worked example, see the attachment to post #13 at: https://www.msofficeforums.com/mail-...nt-dollar.html
