Hi,

Although I've programmed in VBA Access and Excel, but I have very limited knowledge in Word. Can anyone suggest if it's possible to create Grouping within the Mail Merge document. So that when Mail Merge document runs based on some source from Excel it will also list the grouping on the second page of the each row. Similar grouping is implemented in Access reports. Where the Details section can list the number or rows per group.



Much appreciated, thanks.

Hi Alex,

You can use Word's Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge facility for this (the terminology depends on the Word version). To see how to do so with any mailmerge data source supported by Word, check out my Microsoft Word Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge Tutorial at:
http://windowssecrets.com/forums/sho...ngs-(2000-2010)
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 attachment to the posts at:

Alternatively, you may want to try one of the Many-to-One Mail Merge add-ins, from:
