Hello,

I have a large list of names and job titles I want to merge into a Word
document, that will become a salary agreement. I hope to combine each
person's job onto one letter.

The problem is that when a person has more than one job they are listed
on more than one row.

Here is an example:

Name Job
John Doe Teacher
John Doe Coach
Mary Smith Teacher
Mary Smith Club Advisor

When I perform a typical mail merge separate letters are generated for
each job. I wante them combined into one letter.

Is there a mail-merge trick I can use to combine the jobs into a single
letter?

would be easy enough.
