Re: Conditional page eject in "Catalogue" mail merge

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The following macro will separate a catalog type mailmerge into separate
tables when the data in the first field changes.

' Macro to create multiple items per condition in separate tables from a
directory type mailmerge

Dim source As Document, target As Document, scat As Range, tcat As Range
Dim data As Range, stab As Table, ttab As Table
Dim i As Long, j As Long, k As Long, n As Long
Set source = ActiveDocument
Set target = Documents.Add
Set stab = source.Tables(1)
k = stab.Columns.Count
Set ttab = target.Tables.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, numrows:=1,
numcolumns:=k - 1)
Set scat = stab.Cell(1, 1).Range

ttab.Cell(1, 1).Range = scat
j = ttab.Rows.Count

I have a mailmerge of type "catalogue" and want to insert a page
eject when a certain field changes. How do I do that?

Let's say, this controlling field is called "Zimmer_Nr", as German
for Room_No.

I haven't done Winword programming for at least half a year and
can't remember how to do it, but I would need it for tomorrow...

MS-Office 2000, data source is an Excel ***.

I was thinking to insert a mailmerge IF ... ELSE before the first
item in the data row, comparing the actual value of the mailmerge
field "Zimmer_Nr" to a DOCVARIABLE, and assign the current value of
the "Zimmer_Nr" to a DOCVARIABLE at the end of the data row.

Or can I access the field value indexed by the MERGESEQ value?

Yours,
L.W.
