You really shouldn't have to do much more than copy the field from the tutorial into your own document, change the field names & accompanying text and maybe change the formatting a bit to get the desired output.

Since I don't know exactly what aspects you're having trouble with and seeing the document concerned, it's a bit hard to give specific advice. Can you attach a document to a post with some representative data (delete anything sensitive)? You do this via the paperclip symbol on the 'Go Advanced' tab at the bottom of this screen.

Still working from home this morning. I'll try to set up a dummy version I can send to you when I get to my office later.

The problem I'm having is getting my text to fit into the proper location in the letter. I also may be trying to something a little more complicated than what any of the tutorial examples demonstrate. 5,000 rows of data. Each has a city field that I am using as my Key. Each row represents a specific project in the city with statistics for each project. The result needs to be one letter to each Mayor of about 450 cities with the Mayor name, summary statistics of all the projects stated once in each letter and then project-by-project details for all projects in the city included at the end of the letter. Project detail needs to be at the very end because the number of projects varies from one to 84 depending on the city and if I include that in the body of the letter, it would be too much for cities with larger numbers of projects.
