Default Creating Multiple Reports, One by One, for a List of Names

If the headings are the same for each student, you could store the data
in one table, with student names in the first column, and values in the
subsequent columns. For example:

Name 9/15/04 9/30/04 ...
John Smith 55 72
Mary Jones 81 70

Then, create a report in Microsoft Word, with the format you want. Use
its Mail Merge feature to produce an individualized report for each
student. There's information on the Word MVP site:

And David McRitchie has instructions on his web site:

Hi!

I need help to create and print multiple reports for a list of names. I
have a table with a column of names; after each name is a row of values
associated with the name, and above each value are a row of headings
and a row of dates.

My goal is to take each name and its associated rows of data (values,
headings, dates), and reference it in an individual, customized report
format, print the individual report, then go to the next name down the
column of names and generate and print a second individual report,
etc., etc.

Also, I would like my reports to format the rows of data as columns,
not as rows. However, changing from rows to columns as I go from the
data table to the individual reports is NOT so important if it causes
too much complexity. That is, the report could have rows of data,
rather than columns.

I'm a new school teacher (teaching English) trying to take a tables of
student grades for each of my classes of students, and generate
individual progress reports. I have a lot of spreadsheet experience,
but my experience with Macros is limited to the generating multiple
print macros.

Thanks for any help!!

headings and values as COLUMNS (to make life easier I could continue to
keep as rows)
