How to change page if record change while mail merge

When performing a mail merge, you may encounter a situation where the data changes while the merge is in progress, and you need to update the page accordingly. Here are a few ways to achieve this:

Method 1: Using a loop and a counter

You can use a loop to iterate through the records and a counter to keep track of the page number. When a record changes, you can update the counter and restart the loop from the beginning.

Here's an example in Microsoft Word:

Sub UpdatePageNumber()
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim counter As Integer
    Dim oRecord As Record

    counter = 1
    For Each oRecord In ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource
        ' Do your processing here
        If oRecord.Changed Then
            counter = 1
        Else
            counter = counter + 1
        End If
        ' Update the page number
        ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.CurrentRecord = counter
    Next oRecord
End Sub

Method 2: Using a conditional statement

You can use a conditional statement to check if the record has changed and update the page number accordingly.

Here's an example in Microsoft Word:

Sub UpdatePageNumber()
    Dim oRecord As Record

    For Each oRecord In ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource
        ' Do your processing here
        If oRecord.Changed Then
            ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.CurrentRecord = 1
        End If
    Next oRecord
End Sub

Method 3: Using a custom function

You can create a custom function that updates the page number based on the record changes.

Here's an example in Microsoft Word:

Function UpdatePageNumber(oRecord As Record) As Integer
    If oRecord.Changed Then
        UpdatePageNumber = 1
    Else
        UpdatePageNumber = oRecord.PageNumber
    End If
End Function

Then, in your mail merge code, you can call this function to update the page number:

Sub UpdatePageNumber()
    Dim oRecord As Record

    For Each oRecord In ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource
        ' Do your processing here
        oRecord.PageNumber = UpdatePageNumber(oRecord)
    Next oRecord
End Sub

These methods should help you update the page number when a record changes during a mail merge.
