Glenda,
try changing one thing. Ray pretty much has it but usually when you use
Wild cards, (at least in Access) you need to use Like or Not Like instead of
the = or <>. If you make that change I believe it will work.

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.
