Exclamation Multiple Lines on an Invoice

Mail Merge - Multiple Lines on an Invoice Friendly-reminder-email-.doc



Masterdata.xls
I was asked this question, and I am at a loss. A user has an Excel file that lists customers and the services they buy from us (each service has a Service Number). She uses this spreadsheet to merge to Billing letters/invoices in Word. Right now, when she merges, it creates a separate letter/invoice for each customer for each service... John Smith might have 15 services, so he is getting a separate letter for each service.

Yuck. She wants to set it up so that John Smith would receive ONE letter that lists all 15 of his services. Maybe the next customer, Susy Johnson would have 1 service, so she would receive one letter for her one service. The next customer might have 4 services... so he'd need ONE letter listing all 4 services.

See what we're trying to accomplish?

How can we tell Word that at every break in Customer Only, we need a new letter, otherwise, just list the services for that customer on one page??

Thanks!

I am interested in the same thing, but I haven't found a good way to do it other than by coping and pasting. If you figure it out, it would help me immensely!

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...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:
https://www.msofficeforums.com/mail-...html#post23345

Alternatively, you may want to try one of the Many-to-One Mail Merge add-ins, from:
Graham Mayor at http://www.gmayor.com/ManyToOne.htm; or
