Word Help - Bullet List

[psctornado]

Hi,

I'm working on a mail merge document where there may be a varying amount of overpayment reasons and I would like them bulleted in my mail merge word document. Some of the letters will have 1 reason, some will have 2 or 3 reasons.

I've been trying to search for a code or create an if, then, else formula in my mail merge, but nothing seems succesful in creating the bullet along with the reason.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi psctornado,

You can use Word's Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge facility for this (the terminology depends on the Word version). To see how to do so with any mailmerge data source supported by Word, check out my Microsoft Word Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge Tutorial at:

or

Do read the tutorial before trying to use the mailmerge document included with it.

Turning the output records into a bulleted list is simply a matter of applying the correct Styles/paragraph formatting.

Thanks for reply macropod, but after reading your provided links and tutorial I still do not understand quite how to accomplish this. Is there anyway you could elaborate?

Thanks!:banghead:
