What I'm doing is not on my local machine and is not my set up of
Word/Office. The merge document is created using Word 2000 via Terminal
Services on THEIR system. MUCH of what is normally available in Word is
not available via THEIR connection. THEY provide the list of fields
available for a document. I have NO access to the data file at this
point. Once I've designed a document, I close Word which takes me back
to THEIR system where I can then choose to merge the document with the
data file THEY designed. This merge process takes place somewhere in
outer space and all I get is a completed document that I can print. The
completed document doesn't have a task pane or access to mail merge
options. It's VERY controlled and EXTREMELY LIMITING.
When designing a document, I can Insert Word Fields, most of which are
available, including IF, Next IF and Skip IF.

Ok Glenda...are you saying that after you've completed the merge and go
back to the Mail Merge dialog box, the button at the bottom that says
"Query options" or something like that is grayed out?
That's in Word 2000...in Word 2002, AFTER YOU'VE COMPLETED THE MERGE,
are you saying that in Step 3 of the merge, if you look in the task
pane, "Edit Recipient List" is not available?
Remember, this is AFTER you've completed the merge and the data from
Excel is already in there....you still can't run a filter?
If so, that is definitely weird and I've never seen a setup like that in
all the companies I've done mail merges with....no matter where the
Excel data was, once the merge was done, the data was now in the actual
merge document and anything I wanted to do with it then I could do.=20

trust me Linda. I DON'T have access to the file. All I can see in Word
is the list Insert Merge Fields icon. The Open Data Source and Mail
Merge Recipients icons are grayed out. The only thing I can do is
choose which fields I want to include in a merge, one of which is that
blasted @#$%* communication field. isn't there some way in a merge field
to say 'like' ?
