Mail Merge to excel spreadsheet problem
Hi Alex,
I created a mailer using workd and within the body of the mailer I created a excel spreadsheet within MS word. I did a mail merge and it worked fine. I want to merge some fields into the excel spreadsheet which is in word and I cannot. Is there a way around this????? or is it just not possible. Not possible. And Excel spreadsheet (as an Excel object as opposed to a sheet converted to a Word table) is like any drawing object or picture, as far as Word is concerned. When you activate it (double-click, for example), that opens the object in its own application environment (Excel). And since Excel doesn't know anything about merge fields...
