Thanks. The formatting (list vs table) doesn't matter as long as the right and required info is presented in the correct area on the letter. I don't know how to use OLE automation (or don't recognize the term) so if you could post an example I'd appreciate it.I don't use mail merge. It is too hard to control. I use OLE automation and to show a "list", I create a table and insert the table. I'm in the middle of something. If you need an example, I'll post it later this afternoon.
