Hi NewGirl,
In that case, you can encapsulate the first two pages in an IF field coded as:
{IF { MERGESEQ } = 1 "the first two pages" }
Note the expression spacing and double quotes. Also note that you'll need to insert a backslash character (ie '\') before any other single or double quotes on the first two pages.
To create the field coding:
• Type 'IF MERGESEQ = 1 "' before the start of the existing 1st-page text.
• Select the MERGESEQ and press Ctrl-F9 to encompass it in a pair of field braces, thus '{ MERGESEQ }'
• Type and double-quote character at the end of the 2nd page


• Select the whole of the first two pages and press Ctrl-F9 to encompass them in another pair of field braces, thus '{IF { MERGESEQ } = 1 "the first two pages" }
• Press F9 to update
You're now ready to run your mailmerge.
