Hi,

I am familiar with merging documents in Word via creating bookmarks and
populating the them from a data source. I am also fairly familiar with
merging relational data into Word.

My current problem is that I am trying to merge some fields in an Access
database table to a Word template document. However, the bookmark only exists
in one paragraph and often there are more than one items in the database
table of the same type.

I will illustrate with an example.  If my main document with the
bookmarks/merge fields is this:
=====================================================
Hi XXX,

Here are the details of your enquiry:

1. XXX  followed by standard block of text                  
           xxxx  followed by standard block of text        
=====================================================
If my document needs more than one paragraphs WITH THE SAME TYPE OF MERGE
FIELDS, how can I automate word to replicate this over the number paragraphs
I want without the need for excessive templates or excessive copy and pastes.

You see, if I have just one paragraph, the merge works just fine. If I have
4, i could merge and replicate the paragraphs by copy and paste but if i have
25, I need a way to merge not only the first field but also subsequent fields
with the same standard block of text.

I have spent 3 months trying to solve this. please help. any suggestion will
be highly valued. i dont even mind doing some programming.

Many thanks.
