Default Including more than one name in mail merge

Mail Merge - I am new at this :P
I have a database with multiple people, employed by multiple companies
(sometimes many people employed by the same company). I wish to send a letter
to these companies regarding their employees, but can only select "Surname &
First Name" from the "Insert Merge Field" list.
I notice that the "insert merge feild list" takes fields directly from the
excel spreadsheet I am using, but my issue is that in this instance, I cannot
enter each name as a seperate feild in that spreadsheet.
I need to insert multiple names into the letter, but so far am only able to
insert one name. Hope im making sense!
TIA

Fellow MVP 'macropod' has posted a tutorial on this, with working field
codes and a sample Excel data source which you can download from my website
