Mail merge to table, new page/doc when field chnges
Hi all
I'm hoping you can help me out here. part of my job is issueing regular crewtalks throughout the work force. The crew talk is generally a 1 page document and then added to that is a sign off page that all crew members must sign. What I am trying to do is have a document set up so I can cut and paste the crew talk to first page then merge a table to the second page with the crew members Emp No and name and signature space and crew and have it start a new letter/directory when the crew changes for example (Page one) Crew Talk Crew 1 Blah blah blah (Page 2) Crew Talk Crew 1 Delivered by__________ Date____________ (table) Emp No, Name, Tick I have read, Signature, Crew 1, J blog, , , Crew 1 2, H Doer, , , Crew 1 (New doc) (Page one) Crew Talk Crew 2 Blah blah blah (Page 2) Crew Talk Crew 2 Delivered by__________ Date____________ (table) Emp No, Name, Tick I have read, Signature, Crew 4, D Smith, , , Crew 2 5, A Jones, , , Crew 2 I have tried the <<Tablestart>><<tableEnd> commands and also the method used in gmayors tutorial but I always seem to end up with just the 1 name per signoff page ie 300 individuals instead of 20 crews I'm a complete noob to this so any help will be greatly appreicated At the moment the best I've been able to manage is a standard merge ignoring the names and just putting in a table with the crew inserted down 1 column ie Crew Talk <<Crew >> Blah blah blah (Page 2) Crew Talk <<Crew>> Delivered by__________ Date____________ (table) Emp No, Name, Tick I have read, Signature, Crew , , , ,<<Crew>> , , , ,<<Crew>> , , , ,<<Crew>> Which is ok but makes tracking which crew members a have and have not signed clumbsy |

You can do that with http://www.gmayor.com/ManyToOne.htm , provided your crew list is in Excel and you have the Crew number as they key field and the data is sorted on that field. Use the optional list field for the signature block (if you want that also).

Thanks Graham. I will look into it. As I'm on a work server I'm not sure if I can install the add on. Doesn't seem to be letting me copy the supplied template to the start up file.
Will chase it up. Is there another way to do it if I can't use many to one? |

Not if you want to use a table, unless you program, it from scratch. If you can manage with a list, see Paul Edstein's mail merge tutorial which you can download from the download page of my web site. http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm, but it is a complex procedure.
