Maybe you can filter your data
It is very easy with this add-in

Or see

And for mail merge see

In Word the Wizard is also very good

Thank you. I am trying to make a simple database to hold up to 4000 clients
and be able to sort the data into groups according to date ranges, deposit
due dates and use it to mail merge and send email en mass, I have little to
no experience in this but have taken it on as a task for my role as a PA for
a company that has manual book keeping for everything. Can you advise on tips
for setup for wase of mail merge down the track or point me to the correct
terms to ask for help from the help search function. Thank you so much for
your time!!!
Kind Regards
Kylie

or setting one up?
