Mail Merge - repeated fields

[LISAKG]

Hello! I was hoping somebody might be able to please help? I created a mail merge in Word from Excel. The source data only had one Company name per row in Excel. In the mail merge, I added the Company name field to the front of the letter and again to the back of the letter (the letter was double-sided). Is it possible that a Company field on one row in Excel was on the one side of the letter and a Company field from another row in Excel be on the back? The reason I ask is I've been contacted to say there are two different Company names on the one letter and I can't see how this would have happened. I haven't got access to my computer right now. I was just wondering in theory if it's possible. Thank you. Lisa.

Is it ONLY the Company name column that is incorrect on what must be the second page?

Thanks for replying. It's all okay now. The mail merge worked fine. It wasn't that the Company name was incorrect it was because two letters were put into the same envelope! The explanation given of what was incorrect was too vague to understand, the problem wasn't actually the mail merge after all.

Describing adequately what a problem actually is takes one easily to describing the solution and saves a lot of time.

Unfortunately, the former often calls for great skills.

Glad it is all sorted.
