Here's an example of what I'm wanting to do. The Name, Address and List of Forms comes from Access data. In this example, Form 5c needs an additional paragraph that reads "Form 5c is in triplicate. Send the pink and yellow copies to the Office of Admissions, keep the green copy for your records." June 16, 2003 <<Bill Student>> <<123 This Street>> <<Somewhere, Florida 33333>> Dear <<Bill>>, Here is the list of the forms you need to complete and return to the Office of Admissions. LIST OF FORMS <<Form 1>> <<Form 2>> <<Form 5c>> <<Form 94>> <<Form 94b>> Note: Mail all forms to the Office of Admissions no later than June 30,2003. <<Additional paragraph if needed>> Don't forget <<Bill>>, we need your confirmation information by June 30th as well in order to reserve your classes. If you have questions or need additional information, please contact your counselor at 386-1234.

I want to create a mail merge letter that pulls some data from an Access database. Based on the value of that data, I'd like to change some of the paragraphs. I suspect Bookmarks and If Then statements are the answer but not having ever used them, need some guidance. Any suggestions welcome. /g ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
