Mail Merge Question

[Kipper Kelley]

I have a huge mailing project coming up and i need some help!
I want to send a letter to all of my clients, but some individuals own
several companies which i would like to reference on one letter, but each
company is listed as its own contact in Outlook. How do i address the letter
to John Smith but IN the letter reference: ABC Co, 123 Co, and XYZ LLC? How
can i tell Word that i only want one letter for all of John Smith's
companies, even if each company is listed as its own contact? Should i use
Access or another program to create my lists? Any suggestions would be
helpful!

You are wanting 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
