Secondly, you would need to have the same number of fields per record - some of your records have more lines (fields) than others.
Thirdly, you'd need a header row to tell the mailmerge what each field represents.
Dont want to be a pain but could i send you the doc and you do the first one for me so i can then repeat the process for the rest theres over 1000 of these addresses and i need them all in a mail merge for a uni project.

many thanks
