Merge database with Word

Guest

I work in a law firm that does Estate Planning. Mostly, you don't care about
that. However, I'm trying to draft form (Word) documents that would use an
Access database to merge. With those facts, I have these questions:

A) WordPerfect has a "Keyboard Stop" function in Merges, the likes of which
I have not discovered in Word. It's a place where the Merge stops, and asks
for you to make a decision. The answer to that decision results in inserting
words, depending on what your answer was. Does Word have this function? How
do I make it happen?

B) Is there a way to set up a field in Access in which I could ask the data
entry person to answer a question, which would result in inserting language -
perhaps even a whole paragraph or more - if the answer was "yes" (for
instance), or not doing anything if the answer was "no"?

I'm anxious to get this stuff set up. All hints would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks -

Use a query in Access that prompts for criteria. Use the query as the source
for Word Mail Merge.
