Since you can't see the original data, is there any chance that some of =
the
records have BOTH a telephone number and an email address?
I must confess I haven't been following the more recent suggestions on =
this
but if the IF queries are looking for unique records might this be the
reason you are getting spurious results?
Back to Ray et al ... I'm out of my league on this now!

Hi All who are helping with this.
In Word, I created a mergefield EXACTLY as Ray's, including spacing. In
Excel, I created a worksheet with 2 columns.
Column 1 Name contains 4 records: Blue, Red, Rose, Daisy
Column 2 Address contains 4 records: berry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
irish@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, 123-456-7890, (321)-654-0987
The desired result is 2 records: Rose --- 123-456-7890, Daisy ---
(321)-654-0987
The actual result is 2 records: Red --- irish@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Daisy ---
(321)-654-0987
Is this bizarre or is it just me? For some reason it's skipping every =
other
record and ignoring the not like request. Maybe like and not like can't =
work
in a merge field?

I've got it!
My merge file has two fields, one called Name, which contains... well, a
name, and another called Address, which contains either a phone number =
or an
email address. The following suppresses all NON email addresses from the
merge:
{nextif{MERGEFIELD "Address"} <> "*@*"}{MERGEFIELD "Name"} --- =
{MERGERFIELD
"Address"}
Evidently, it is important that the '<>' has a space either side of it. =
This
worked for me.
