Word 2000 Merge and Duplex - Need to add blank pages when needed

[Anne-Marie Norman via AdminLife]

Hello. I have Access 2000 data that is merged into Word 2000. Each Access table is merged to a specific main Word document. Each main document has several IF statements. Based upon theselection of various Access fields and checkboxes, specific textis output to the Word main document. The amount of output textaffects the number of section pages each record produces. Forexample, one record may require a two-page letter, while thenext record may require three pages, etc. My dilemma is that Ineed the merge document to be able to print duplex. If I have arecord that produces one page, I do not want the next record tostart printing on the back of record one. Basically, I want toinsert a blank page when needed. I experimented with differenttypes of breaks but it does not work for every record within thesame document. Is there a way to do this when the sourcerecords produce varying numbers of section break pages withinthe same document? Please help. I have beenresearching/experimenting with this for weeks. Thank you.

table is merged to a specific main Word document. Each main document has

and checkboxes, specific text is output to the Word main document. The
amount of output text affects the number of section pages each record

next record may require three pages, etc. My dilemma is that I need the
merge document to be able to print duplex. If I have a record that produces

records produce varying numbers of section break pages within the same
document? Please help. I have been researching/experimenting with this for
