Default Mail Merging multiple lines to the same document


I have a list of students that I need to populate into a table. However, I only want mail merge to create a new document when the student changes. How can I do this ? This is what my data looks like.

I've attached my data to this post. Thank you to anyone who can shed some light on this.

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:

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
Doug Robbins at http://bit.ly/1hduSCB

In addition to a 'Many to One' merge, the latter handles:
• Merge with Charts
• Duplex Merge
• Merge with FormFields
• Merge with Attachments
• Merge to Individual Documents
• Merge, Print and Staple

As Paul suggests, both my Many to One add-in and the similarly conceived add-in from Doug Robbins, will easily handle this task. However there is one proviso in respect of my add-in, (and I believe Doug's would be similarly effected), you cannot have empty rows of data, so in the case of your worksheet, you would have to eliminate them before running the merge.

e.g.
