I am trying to get the mail merge work with directory as the source that would help me categorize the records in my current template.

I am using this field code:

{QUOTE{IF{MERGESEQ}=1{SET Key ""}}"{IF{MERGEFIELD Description}<> {KEY}"{IF{MERGESEQ}>1" "} Values for {MERGEFIELD Description}{SET Key{MERGEFIELD Description}} Input "}{MERGEFIELD ColDesc} "}

Now the output I get is fine for a new fresh document, but when I try this code with an existing template, what it outputs is a document for each record it merges.

What I would like to have is a kind of this output on one page:

Details for the record selected from the file provided:


Values for 'Subjects'
Input
Study ID
Class ID
Subject Name
Student ID

Values for 'Visits'
Input
Visit ID
Visit date
Room No.
Summary
etc.....
But what my output is the following:

Details for the record selected from the file provided:
Values for 'Subjects'
Input
Study ID
Class ID
Subject Name
Student ID


Details for the record selected from the file provided:
Values for 'Visits'
Input
Visit ID
Visit date
Room No.
Summary


I agree by default, Mail Merge using directory tells word to repeat all the contents in the sheet. ref: lis.dickinson.edu/technology/training/Tutorials/ms2007/word/… But I wanted to have the output my way



All suggestions are appreciated.

Best
