Ok..here's how I did it in Word 2002/2003 Go into your Merge document....and go to Step 3 of the merge...in there, click on Edit Recipient List and that will show you the Excel stuff with the field names at the top...click on the dropdown for the Communication field...and choose (Advanced...) In there, click on the Field dropdown and choose Communication...then click on the Comparison dropdown and choose Does Not Contain...then type an @ into the next box that says Compare To..then click OK That will give you all the phone numbers since they don't contain @ In Word 2000, you can do the same thing using the Query options in the bottom part of the mail merge box.

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 ************************************************************* 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 mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
