I would have to pull out the person records and then the award records, and then somehow match them back up, right?

The tutorial describes how you can group multiple records. Did you experiment with the included data file & field coding? Did you note how there are multiple records for most groups? Did you look at the link I posted re the use of DATABASE fields?

There should be no need for all your circumlocution. The only reason you'd need a macro for the merge is if you're merging to an actual table and you need to delete the intervening paragraphs afterwards.

That's not even related to the tutorial and won't work with the tutorial's processes.
