Default Mail merger when client has multiple entries on data sheet

Hi
I am trying to set up a system to email invoices to clients in one action. The problem I have is that the data source (an excel spreadsheet) has multiple entries for the same clients and when I try to mail merge them they end up as separate invoices.

Take a look at Paul Edstein's Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge Tutorial

and Customize Billing Document Templates Using Word Mail Merge (not by Paul).

In addition to what is discussed in the tutorial, another option would be to use a DATABASE field in a normal ‘letter’ mailmerge main document and a macro to drive the process. An outline of this approach can be found at:

Conversely, if you're using a relational database or, Excel workbook with a separate table with just a single instance of each of the grouping criteria, a DATABASE field in a normal ‘letter’ mailmerge main document could be used without the need for a macro. An outline of this approach can be found at:

For some working examples, see:

Merge excel list into Word Receipt
(the second of these uses a macro to apply some additional formatting).
