Hi All,

I am creating a mail merge letter that has a variable that could merge
several different messages into each student's letter. I would like each
message to have a bullet in front of it. I have tried to put a bullet in
front of the variable however only the first message has the bullet the rest
do not. What am I missing?

From where do the messages come? Are they in the different fields in the
data source and some of those fields only contain data for some of the
students? If that is the case, you would need If...then...Else field
constructions that inserts the formatted mergefield if it contains data and
does not insert anything if it does not.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Doug

The messages are comming from one data field from a Higher Education
database.

I have been contact by a co-worker and have created a macro that when run
will add a bullet to each message.

Thank you for you input.
