I apologize, I posted this to the newsgroup earlier, I just can't get an
understanding of how to do this no matter how hard I try.

I data have from an Excel file with ZIP codes. When it merges to a Word
document, I want it to do like this:

85615
-------

entry with this zip code
entry with this zip code
entry with this zip code
entry with this zip code
entry with this zip code

85711
-------
entry with this zip code
entry with this zip code
entry with this zip code
entry with this zip code

I was referred to this knowledge base article
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=294686#2 but no matter how hard I try to
figure it out I just can't. It has to be one of the most complicated things
I have ever seen, EVER.

My fields are

PropValue
Tenant
TenAddr
TenCityState
TenZIP

Obviously TenZIP (tenant zip code) is the key data bit. It's the one that
should cause breaks.

Again I have tried over and over and over to decipher that knowledge base,
but it is total Greek to me. I just can't make sense of it.

Tips?

Sorry for pressing the panic button. I bit of persistence seemed to do it.

The syntax in the template is:

{ IF {MERGESEQ} = "1" "{TenZIP}
" ""} {SET Place1 {TenZIP}}
{IF {Place2}<>{Place1}"
{TenZIP}

{Tenant} {TenAddr} {TenCityState}; ${PropValue}" "{Tenant} {TenAddr}
{TenCityState}; ${PropValue} " }
{SET Place2{TenZIP} }

Of course you use CTRL-F9 to generate the pair of brackets and if you open
the document up later and the codes seem gone, ALT-F9 brings them back.

Thanks anyway, and thanks for the links.
