I have Word 2000 or 2002 on this system, whichever you're most comfortable with. I appreciate the help. I played IF and Next IF both and couldn't figure out what would give me the values I seek. If I could just get access to the base worksheet, I could do it easy in Excel - sheesh and thanks. /g -----Original Message----- From: Linda F.

Ok Glenda...since no one else is answering this, I'm gonna play with it...but since we're talking mail merge here, I can't even start until you tell me what version of Word you are using.=20 Field codes ain't my strong point, but from what I can see, you need a NextIF field and not an IF field...NextIf is where you tell Word to "conditionally go to the next record in a merge" based on your condition Play with that, and if you can't figure it out, let us know which version of Word you are using.

I have data in Excel that I need to pull using MS Word for a mail merge where I only want to merge records containing telephone numbers. I don't have access to or control of the worksheet containing the data except to extract information for the merges. The field I'm drawing from is called Communication. The same field may contain either a phone number or an email address. If the field contains a phone number I want it in my Word mail-merge. I was trying to write some kind of statement that would recognize the @ symbol in email addresses and not pull that record if it existed but didn't have any luck. Any advice or information appreciated. /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=20 mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
