How can I suppress a page in Mailmerge on condition of an Excel value ?

Hi Experts,

I have a Word document consisting of two pages (an Invoice, and a Balance Statement) which I use to MailMerge invoice data from an Excel worksheet. It works fine, generating both pages for each Excel row.

However, I would like it to only create the Balance Statement (the second of the two pages) if the value in a 'Balance Due' field in the spreadsheet exceeds £500. is it possible to suppress a page in Word MailMerge ?

Thanks
Toco

Thanks for your help Graham.

I followed your instructions up to the point where I embedded the page within curly braces but without adding the IF{MERGEFIELD statement.

{ "................Page Break.................¶

I then tried the MailMerge to confirm that it would still work with the curly braces. But it didn't ! It didn't generate the second page at all.

Why is this ? Does it need the IF statement to print the second page ?

Thanks for the excellent solution Graham. I got it to work eventually - the spaces were important !
