Default Help needed in Merge

We have a merge instruction based on the current line in a record, which populates a word document. The tbl consists of:
OfferamountID
Status
AmountOffered
etc
At present the word merge populates the letter confirming the offer amount, however if a person offers on a property 6 times in a day I don't want to do six individual letters I want to do one letter but in the offer section fo the word document it would read. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unless you are printing numerous letters at the end of a week, month or whatever, a Word merge is probably not the best way to do this. Automation is the better approach, as it lets you step through a record set and plug values into a table. You might find our Automation Tutorial useful for getting started with it - the article that Hans pointed you to also suggests that approach as one alternative. You might also consider using an Access report instead of a merge if you don't need any fancy formatting that requires Word.
