Merge it with microsoft word

For some reason when i do the "directory" merge it throws my recepient list
out of alphabetical order. I've tried doing it five times and every time i
look at the recepient list right before processing the merge it is always out
of order and i don't want to have to spend hours cut and pasting the names to
put them back in order. Any suggestions. I am using Access version 2002 and
word 2002. My end product is a html document a list of designers name
address, title, new line company name, city, state, zip, new line work phone,
fax, new line email, new line web address. It works but the list is not
alphabetized....in word after the merge it becomes many pages and it semi
alphabetizes a to z on each page. I need it to alphabetize a starting on
page 1 and z ending on the last page. In access the document is in
alphabetical order.

Hi Debbie,

Create a query in Access that sorts it the way you want. Then base your
merge on the Query, not on the underlying table.
