Mini Mail Merge?

[Quack Boy]

Is it possible to do a mini mail merge? That is with only once set of
records.

Simple example table
ID Name Place
1 Adam Alphaville
2 Bob Betasville
3 Cathy Cetasville

Where the user specifies that they want the info for record 3 so it
should spew out:
Cathy
Cetasville
and that's all.

I could just use cut and paste, but I wuite like the idea of
semi-automating this process.
Thank you.

Hi Quack,

Sure, you can set Query Options to filter records. Which version of
Word do you have?

That'll be Word 97.

Hi Quack,

OK, in Word97 you can reach these from two places

1. Tools/Mail Merge, button at the bottom of the dialog box ("Query
Options")

2. In the mail merge toolbar, look for a button with three dots. I can't
recall if in Word97 this was a symbol with three red dots, or a captioned
button labelled "Mail merge...". But three dots, in any case. This will
display a dialog box where you'll also find the "Query options" button.

That'll be Word 97.
