Default Help, Can't Get Merge to work

I'm no expert, this is just a thought. It sounds like
this is a legal document. I'm a legal assistant in a law
firm, however, self-taught with respect to Word/Access. I
did set up a number of debentures and contract docs. for
some of the lawyers which linked to an Access database,
various calculations depending on shares, values, clauses
to be inserted, deleted, etc. , and I found that I had to
first set up the Word template using "styles" and using
master docs and sub docs. However, I'm sure someone here
must have an access macro solution for your problem.
-----Original Message-----
I have a mail merge document in Word 2003 attached to an

Access 2003
database. The document is a contract and has numbered

paragraphs. I want
to be able to optionally include or exclude paragraphs

based on values in
the database, and I want the paragraphs to renumber. I

also want to be able
to omit subparagraphs (i.e. if paragraph 10 is gone, so

should 10a, 10b, and
10c be gone.) I've been able to use the IF field to

include or exclude text,
but it leaves the empty numbered paragraph and

subparagraphs.

More specifically assume I have a document with three

paragraphs. The
second paragraph is a cancellation clause and the

database has a field
CanCancel. If CanCancel=true, I want a three paragraph

agreement. If
CanCancel=false, I was a two paragraph agreement where

the second paragraph
was omitted from the original and the third paragraph

was renumbered #2.

Anyone know if this is possible? TIA.
