Using VBA it may be possible to use the pattern of data to parse the data
into access. Don't let VBA scare you. As you do a mail merge there is
hope. Post a few records from word here so others can see how your data
is
organized. If the address are in a word address table tell us. We need
to
know how your data is orginized. Pete
