Ahhh...that explains it....what you were saying was you had no access to
change the Excel file...now you are telling us that you have no access to
change the Word merge file, so that would make a difference.
So...I guess you have to wait until someone like Dian chimes in and helps
you with the field stuff...cuz I really don't use that stuff much at
all...sorry.
Weird that they would set this up this way and give you no control...have
you presented this problem to them and told them that this is preventing you
from doing your job efficiently? Seems to me, if they expect you to do what
you are trying to do, then they should give you the rights to make these
types of adjustments.
So, there's nowhere in the entire process that you get to see this list of
recipients? If you could just SEE them, then you could at least copy/paste
them into Excel and filter them or into a new Word doc and use the methods
Anne and I described....but if that's not the case, then you are stuck
waiting for someone who understands the syntax of the Word fields better
than me
You might try taking this to the MS Word newsgroups...maybe you will get a
quicker answer in there.
Good luck...and sorry to have wasted your time with something that's
obviously not possible...I've just never run across a setup like you
describe in all the Offices where I've troubleshot and taught this stuff.
And PLEASE trim your posts when you reply *wink* thanks.

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.
