Doug You have answered EXACTLY the question I was going to ask myself, but unfortunately I am not sure how to formulate the "if, then, else" statement. Are you able to be a little bit more specific? I am "fighting" Office 2003 at the moment and find the "mail merge" far less userfriendly than in previous versions. :o( Thanking you, in anticipation. Tina > Use an If ... Then ...
