    Merging into Word (not all files)

    I have a letter in word and i want to do a mail merge with information on an excel file.
    the letter is regarding a receipt of payment. in the excel file i have a column (column R) titled Payment Method. The values in this column can be 'blank, Credit Card, Invoice, Incomplete'. The only rows I want to look at are the rows with 'Credit Card' filled in under the Payment Method Column. How do I include these items only?

    My excel file has about 50 rows. the data I need to merge onto my word receipt is name (Column A), Address (Column B and C) and Total paid (column D) with the people that have 'Credit Card' under Column R only. The rest I don't want in my word document.

    Any idea how to do this?

    create another table with only that info in it and use that.
    use auto filter on credit card
    then copy to a new sheet
    edit
    i just read that you can specify criteria in mail merge so you only use rows that say credit card
