I am trying to find out how I can insert a field has
multiple values but need to list them on one document VS
each name appearing on a separate document.  We are
setting up a document that lists our employees emergency
contacts.  One employee may have several contacts so I
want them all to appear on one document.  When I set up my
document, a new page is generated for each emergency
contact name.

I appreciate any advice!
Thanks!

As a rule, Word mailmerge isn't very good at handling one-many relationships
and you might be better off doing this using e.g. Access reporting. You
could also visit fellow MVP Cindy Meister's site at

http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/

and look for Mail Merge FAQ, Special merges, multiple items per condition.

But how exactly is your data stored?
