How do I merge several entries in one column with only one in anot

[Janet]

We have data in Excel with name and address in one column and several loan
numbers in another column. Some people have several loan numbers assigned to
their name and I want to have one letter with one name and address and all of
the customer's pertinant loan numbers.

How can I do this? Right now of course when I merge it makes a seperate
letter for each loan number. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

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:

See the "Group Multiple items for a single condition" item on fellow MVP

Or take a look at the following Knowledge Base Article
