Hello all<br />
<br />
I have a Mail Merge main document which is looking at a CSV file as the source file. &nbsp;This CSV file may have hundreds of records. &nbsp;There is a column in this CSV file that contains US States. &nbsp;At any given time a user will only need to merge info for one or 2 States at a time. &nbsp;The way the CSV file is produced there may be many records and all the needed information is scattered through out the source file. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Currently the user clicks on the Mail Merge Recipients button, sorts by States, and selects only the records needed. &nbsp;This worked well at one time but now it's proving to be very time consuming.<br />
<br />
I am looking for a way to provide the user with a Drop Down list that is &quot;linked&quot; to this States column. &nbsp;So that each time the Main Document is open it will refresh and only the available states will be presented to the user.<br />
<br />
Once selected and when the user clicks merge, only the records matching the selected criteria should be merged.<br />
<br />
Any help would be appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thank you in advance.<br />

Populate a combo box  using a CSV in Word

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
