each "page"/"record" (some records are 2 pages in length) begins: "Memorial Hospital" "Patient Name" "Date of service" etc.
I believe this can be done, but I do not know how to un-bind the records and make the single long document a group of records. Logically, every time a look encountered the verbage "memorial hospital" a new record would begin. The second time through, every time "Patient Name" was encountered, it would be identified as a field within the table. Same for Date of Service, and for any other boiler plate text selected as a field, and found in each and every record. I hope this makes sense. I seem to remember a function to create fields within a group of assorted, but like records, but I cannot find it in my library.
