Word 2000 - Mailmerge

[Sandra Jackson via OfficeKB.com]

We've been sent two Excel spreadsheets and we need to extract information
from both. Is this possible?

To clarify: The names and addresses are held on one spreadsheet and we need
to extract information from the other to merge into a one-page document.

Hi Sandra,

Depends on what you need from that other document, and how it may be
displayed. It would also help to know the version of Office involved.

If the second document should display a table, based on a "User ID" from the
first, see the discussion on multiple records in the Mail Merge FAQ on my
website.

Thank you for responding.

Both Word and Excel are new to me and so I apologies if I’m not very clear
with my request.

I’m currently using Word 2000 and Excel 2000.

The two spreadsheets emailed to me were (Excel 2000):

The first spreadsheet holds all members’ names and addresses: ie:

Salutation Initial Surname Address1 Address 2, etc

The second spreadsheet holds members names and all account details relating
to that member, ie:

Salutation Initial Surname NI No Account No DoB Date joined company., etc

The data is to be merged into a letter. Obviously the name and address is at
the top of the page and taken from the first spreadsheet.

The details from the second spreadsheet are to be included in a table format
on the second page of the letter.

I hope you can understand my request.

Yes, my advice remains the same. See the discussion in the Special Merges
sectino of my website.
