Hi Folks,

I created a db in ex with 5 columns, 30 rows. C1 is LastName, C2 is
FirstName, C3 is Gender, C4 is ID#, C5 is GroupID.

I also have a document in word into which I want to insert this data - but
the document is 10 pages long.  Each page has a place for each of the names,
so here is what I need:

After the last name was added on page one, I need to loop back to the first
name and insert that, until the last page is done.

For the first 20, I have <<LastName>>, <<FirstName>> <<nextrow>>
21 to 30 is <<LastName>>, <<Firstname>> <<nextrowif>> (as there many not be
24 people, then of course I just need it to go to the next page and insert
the 24 names)...

Can this be done via mailmerge?  

Thank You!

You may be able to bookmark the block on the first page and use REF fields
on the other pages to reproduce the data, but there is no a merge can go
backwards through the data source. Word is not good at merging lists into
documents.
