Good Morning,

I need some help with a Mail Merge I'm doing. I have an Excel file in which the user answers questions and keys in unique data. Based on that information it creates a client contract in Word. I have everything working except the last piece. I need it to exclude blocks/pages of data for those features\services the user did not select. I know how to do an IF statement and keep the formatting "as is" but it's not keeping the Auto Numbering attached to it. I'm ok with having them right click on the number and choose to update the field when they are done or create a macro for them. However, I can't get the numbering to work at all. I have also tried breaking these sections into files and calling the files using INCLUDETEXT. In these additional files I have added the Numbering but it still won't work. Doesn't recognize it as a numbering scheme and keeps 1.0 assigned to it even if 3.1 is below it. When I choose to Update Field it just stays at 1.0. Any suggestions or help would be great appreciated!

Thanks,
