Create lists of different information in mail merged documents

[Rita]

Not sure how to describe what I need, hopefully, this will be clear. I have a
mail merge letter to, let's say 10 recipients, each recipient's letter needs
to have a different list of poeple's names inserted into it. I have all the
information in the same database but I don't know how to get the list of
names to merge into each recipient's document without, first printing out the
mailmerge and then typing the list in and printing each one separately. I
hope there is an easier way??? Appreciate any help.

Sounds like you are probably trying to perform a "multiple items per
condition (=key field)" mailmerge which Word does not really have the
ability to do:
