Conditional Fields..

[GH]

I have 2 Regions called Region 1 and Region 2. Reg 1 has 4 divisions; Div 1,
div 2 etc. Reg 2 has only 2 divisions. Can I create a mergeed document that
creates the line "Your region 1 has the following divisions: ........(it
would then say 1 2 3 & 4)". For the reg ion 2 document it would only have
division 1 & 2.

I know this is confusing but the data I am trying to merge has many more
regions and divisions.

Thanks.

In the mail merge FAQ on my website, take a look at the discussion on
one-to-many mail merges. There are links to examples of the three workarounds
discussed. From your description, the KB article using SET and IF fields should
work...

Sounds like you are probably trying to perform a "multiple items per
condition (=key field)" mailmerge which Word does not really have the
ability to do:

See the "Group Multiple items for a single condition" item on fellow MVP
