Context: I want to change how data is imported into my Word doc (through mail merge) from my excel document.* The process described below happens constantly and each time the number of users ranges from 20 to 1,000.Sheet1: (user application lists)Dynamic ranges (1 range per column; each column with one user's unique list of appllications) as lists are updated over/over.* User apps listed vertically is req'd.Sheet 2: (mail merge source table)1 user / row - COL A-C = user-specific fields.* COL D' formula pulls the "app list" (from a dynamic range) in a single cell (forcing a return after each app).* Sheet 3: (software list)Software vendor, app names, etc. are assigned to column headers; e.g. COL C denotes if the application requires a customized installation (cell has a "Yes" value with a nested hyperlink to the documentation).Goals:A) For each Word document (assigned to a single user) I want to bring in their list of applications (from sheet 1) into a table [one app per row; such that each app is in its own row].
* B) I want to have a table column (1/2")to the left of the application with nothing in it (for someone to initial install completion) and
* C) I want to have a table column (1/2") to the right of the application that places a "Yes" in the cell if the application requires customization - with the hyperlink.
I am able to merge the single cell ("app list") into a single table cell my Word file but... I have no idea how to accomplish A, B, and C - or for that matter... if it's possible.* I've done a ton of searching and it would appear to be possible... but way over my head.Any help appreciated. (couldn't post sample file - will try again)
