Mail Merge saga

[Bill D]

Working in Word 2002. I have an Access Table sorted by Vendor Number (key).
Each Vendor has 1 to many Divisions. I need to create a Mail Merge that will
print as follows.... NOTE <equals Access Fields>

<VendorName>
<Address1>
<Address2>
<City>, <State> <Zip>

A paragrah of misc Text..........

Here's where I need to bring in the Division(s)...

<Divison>, next <Division>, next <Division> and so on until all the related
Divisions for this Vendor are listed.

This a HOT issue I need help ASAP.

I know how to build a 'normal' mail merge letter... just adding the
Divisions is driving me nuts. I have tried the {If} clause and it's not
work.

As the data is in Access, if I were you, I would use a report in Access.

Word does not really have the ability to do that, but see:
