Hi,

Assuming you don't want the mailout to go to non-US countries, you could use a SKIPIF field to compare the country field against the
US. If country is not the US, the field skips the current record and moves to the next record.

Cheers

Hi,

The SKIP field's usage is described in Word's Help file.

For your purposes, it could be coded along the lines of:
{SKIPIF{MERGEFIELD Country}<> "USA"}
where the field braces (ie '{ }') are created in pairs via Ctrl-F9.
