I'm not sure you're going to be able to achieve exactly what you're looking for,
but I think you need to start with the information in this KB article

HOW TO: Use Mail Merge to Create a List Sorted by Category in Word 2000
http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=211303

This will tell you how to create a variable length list of information / merge
record. My main reservation is whether real bullets are going to work, or if
you'll need to insert a Symbol, instead.
