I am trying to create a mail merge letter based on a list of multiple dates
for the same recipient. My excel document that I am using as my source, lists
the dates on individual line entries, thus mail merge is reading these as
separate records. So when I merge the documents, I get one letter for each
date rather than one letter listing the multiple dates. Is there a way to
set up my document so that I get one letter by "name" with multiple date
listings?

If you can't arrange the datasource so that all of the dates for the one
"name" are in the one record, then you are going to have to try and
implement the methods in the "Multiple items per condition" item under the
"Special merges" section of fellow MVP CIndy Meister's website at
