From what I saw of your document, I thought all it would take would be a change of the merge type.

Is there additional documentation that you would recommend that will help me understand things better? I'd like to move my knowledge to the "next level"
You might regret asking that! To see what you can achieve with Word's Directory Mailmerge tools, using 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:
