MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / February 2008Primary/Secondary Merge Problem - Pls Help!
Working with XP Word 2003. I have a secondary file that contains around 15 entries. You are asked name, age, gender, etc., and after you type in the answers, just some of these questions will be asked again and this time the answers show up on the screen.  SignatureJan Decker Is there a question here? SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

The question part is: Some of the questions repeat themselves and they should not. How can I get rid of the repeating questions? I do not see anything obvious, i.e., that they are entered twice.

Does it contain any fields? SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

I call it up, questions pop up, i.e., Name, gender, DOB, SSN, etc. As the questions pop up, I type in the answer and click "OK", and the next question appears. It is set up in a table-like format; first row shows your fields, next row shows the answers. At some point, I had to add some questions, i.e., address, State, etc. Shortly after that was when some questions started repeating and I cannot figure out how/why. I then save it as a regular Word document. I could always send you a sample if needed.
