Mail merge to directory does not reset numbering in document
I created a merge document that has multilevel numbering in it. When I do a
merge to directory, every record needs to retain that numbering sequence. However, the merged document does not reset the numbering for every record, so instead of having 50 records with format from 1-5 for the merge fields, I have a numbering scheme in the final document of 1-250. |

Mail merge to directory does not reset numbering in document
As the result of a directory type mail merge does not insert a Section break
between the data for each record, there is nothing that can be used to trigger a restart of the numbering. The only way I could see to get what you want is to use keyed-in numbers for the 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 rather than using multi-level numbering. -- Hope this helps.

Mail merge to directory does not reset numbering in document
Hi Millieac,
If the records are in groups of 5, you could use a formula field coded as: {=MOD({SEQ Counter},5)+1} To output this as plain text, simply code the field as: {QUOTE{=MOD({SEQ Counter},5)+1}} -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "Millieac" wrote in message ...
