I have two data files i'm currently running seperately and feeding into a mail-merge. Each file uses its own slightly different letter. Now the user wants both files merged together and sorted by the receipiant's name. How can I tell Word how switch between the 2 form letters. Now I want to merge the 2 data files, sort by name, then based on the type of record use letter A or form letter B.

Any ideas?

Use the Word Fields to insert the Body of the letter based on whether the column in the database has an A or B in it. You can insert a Word field of Type If-then-else, and if it is A, put the text for letter A, else put the text for letter B.
