HTML doc - Mail merge help

[PsychomIKE]

Hi, I'm looking to distribute a HTML document to several hundred people and I want to customise it with personal name, email, tel numbers etc.

I've never used it before but some googling shows that mail merge is what I need but what I can't seem to find out is if it's possible to hide a larger field if info on a smaller field isn't present. i.e if they don't have a direct dial telephone number then it hides the paragraph with that field in it.

Can anyone steer me on the direction to go with this?

Ta

Thanks for the reply. I eventually used OpenOffice to set up my fields linked to the spreadsheet. Then I inserted a 'section' over the area I wanted to hide with a rule of if a particular cell was blank. Seems to work out okay

Interested in knowing more about using php though. Is it relatively easy to pick up some basics for other times I might need to do this?
