Filters in list and labels

In a label document when a filter is applied to it the whole page is filtered out of the output. On a list document when a filter is applied to it a line in a table is filtered out of the output. Is there a way to filter out the entire page for a list document? We have letters with a table in them and would like to filter out the entire letter and just not all the lines in the table.

Thanks,
Pat Horn
