Many moons ago I played around with peforming mail merges with xml files including the ability to handle repeating information in a table within the document, but now when I look for documentation on how to do this I'm only finding what appear to be out-of-date articles.
Anyone have good references for how do do this?
I also seem to recall there was an additional tool that could be downloaded to inspect and match the merge fields in the document template with the xml fields in the xml file. Is there such a tool for the current version of Word?
Thanks

to see how to install and use the various tools. Using those tools, it is possible to perform the following types of merge that cannot be done with Mail Merge “out-of-the-box”:
The requirements for using the system are:

I'm trying to do this and can't find any resources online.
