Hi philly,

There are two main problems with your mailmerge setup:
1. The document is configured as a letter merge; and, more fundamentally,
2. The document isn't structured anything like what the tutorial describes. Your document has most of its text outside the field coding.

For this kind of mailmerge, your document needs to be configured for a directory/catalogue merge. And, as per the tutorial's 'Inserting Content After the Repeated Data' examples and the solution I posted in post #13 in this thread, the entire content of the letter needs to be enclosed in the field code, in what is essentially the reverse order of output (ie the content to follow the repeated data is input first, then the fields for the repeated data, then the content that precedes the repeated data).
