I would like to have text preceding a directory merge without it appearing before each record. Is there a way to do that? I found this but dont understand how to use it.



Word will repeat all the text in the main merge document when merging to a catalog (directory). It is possible, however, to define text to only appear at the beginning of the document by using an If field to check whether the record being merged is the first one. If so, then the text is displayed, otherwise not: { IF { MergeSeq } = 1 "Place all the introductory text here" }
