Hi Marianne,
> The merge documents are built in Word 2000.
OK, let's see if setting QueryOptions is what you need. If
it does what you're looking for, but you need a more
user-friendly interface, then you'll need VBA code for
that.
- Set up the merge to the Excel sheet
- Look for the button in the mail merge toolbar with three
dots (its label is "Mail merge..."). click it
- There should be a button on the dialog box this opens
named "Query options". click it.
- Select a field from the list at the top left that
contains unique information for the selecting the court in
question
- From the list in the middle of the top row, select the
equivalent of "is equal to"
- Type the exact information the Excel table contains for
the field in question, to get the record you want
