Hello,
I would like o create a table in Word 2003 with dates.  The first line of my
table must be used for the months, and the second line is for the days.
These dates must be incremented for every column change.  The problem is
that I must only have the month displayed whenever it changes.  I thought of
doing a mail merge where the dates are obtained from Excel (one column for
the days and another for the months)  I am unsure as to how to indicate that
the month field must be skipped for duplicates, but that the date change
must always go to the next record.
Thanks,
Catherine

From your description you are trying to create a merge list.This is not
exactly straightforward

If this is a one-off table why not create it in Excel and paste it into
Word?
