MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / March 2008Skip if - Fill-in
I have a zip code field in my data base. I would like to use have Fill-in and Skip If determine what records I use. Example: I would like once the merge document is open for Fill in to prompt "What Zip Code would you like to Filter for?" then have all records without that Zip code Skipped. Question - how would I go about inserting this?  SignatureWork is sometimes hard....but someone has to do it. That is not the sort of thing that you can do with Skip if and Fill in Fields. It is far better to manipulate the data in the data source. What are you using for that? SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP >I have a zip code field in my data base.

So basically I am gonna have to save the merged form with a SkipIf ????? as many times as I have filters.

You would use a query in Access as the data source. But why not produce the labels in Access? It has a very capable Label Report Wizard. SignatureHope this helps.
