MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / September 2005Suppress Duplicates?
does anyone know how to suppress duplicate records in a mail merge. i am merging from an Access database table that has several duplicate records - is there any way of getting Word to not include any duplicates it finds when creating the mail merge? Access has a Wizard to create a query that will find duplicates in a table. Why don't you use that. Access is far better at data manipulation than Word. An alternative would be to Move the data into a Word table using copy and paste and then you will find a method of removing duplicates in the article "Finding and replacing characters using wildcards" at: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/UsingWildcards.htm You can then use that document as the datasource.  SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
