MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / April 2008Merging only some names from a list
I have a list of 8,000 members. I want to merge based on 3 columns, names (Non-blank), Bad Address (Blanks) and Paid Thru (date). When I do this, it still gives me all 8,000 labels. I can sort the date column but I can't make it print just those equal to or less than (date). Will appreciate any help as I am very frustrated. Where do you have the list? It would be better to do the data manipulation in the source rather than via mail merge  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 list of 8,000 members.

The list is in Excel and when I downloaded it from the web site, it changed all the dates to xxxxx and I don't know how to change it back to numbers. If I can, then I could sort it from there. Thanks for trying. > Where do you have the list?

Are the dates displayed as "xxxxx" in Excel because the column width is too narrow to display them properly or are they really replaced by "xxxxx" If the latter, then there is no way that you could sort the data on that field in Excel, let alone in Word.
