How can I use 'OR' in a rule

I am using rules in Outlook 2000 to drive applicable emails to an
'Orders' folder'

If the subject has 'New Order', I send it to the Orders file. It
works fine.

I have another rule that when the sender is 'John Doe', I send it to
the Orders file. I want all the emails form John to be routed to that
folder. It works fine.

However, when John Doe sends me an email with 'New Order' in the
subhect, I get two copies of the email in the Orders folder because
the email passes both rules.

I would like to combine the two rules into one rule but I haven't been
able to figure out how to use 'OR' so that the Orders folder will only
get one copy of a rule-passing email.

Has anyone been able to do this. If so, how?

Thank you.
 
You need to add the "stop processing" action to the rule that comes earliest in your rules order list.
