Your current approach won't work. Instead you could use Word's Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge facility (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:
https://www.msofficeforums.com/mail-...-tutorial.html 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. Depending on what you're trying to achieve, the field coding for this can be complex. However, since the tutorial document includes working field codes for all of its examples, most of the hard work has already been done for you - you should be able to do little more than copy/paste the relevant field codes into your own mailmerge main document, substitute/insert your own field names and adjust the formatting to get the results you desire. For some worked examples, see the attachments to the posts at: https://www.msofficeforums.com/mail-...html#post23345 https://www.msofficeforums.com/mail-...html#post30327 Another option would be to use a DATABASE field in a normal ‘letter’ mailmerge main document, with a workbook that contains a single instance of each of your employer names and IDs on one worksheet - which is used for the mailmerge data source - and your existing worksheet which is referenced by a DATABASE field. Or you could keep your existing workbook setup and use both a DATABASE field and a macro to drive the process. An example of this approach can be found at: Many to one email merge using tables - Microsoft Community The DATABASE field can even be used without recourse to a mailmerge. An example of such usage can be found at: https://www.msofficeforums.com/mail-...html#post67097 Alternatively, you may want to try one of the Many-to-One Mail Merge add-ins, from: Graham Mayor at Merge Many To One or Doug Robbins at Microsoft services
