Mailmerge merge fields
Hi All
Using Mail Merge (Word 2002) : When inserting the merge fields in the form letter. I find that after inserting one field I have to close the window, then click on More Items on the Task Pane and insert another field, close the window, click on More Items on the Task Pane again and repeat these steps for all the fields. Am I doing something wrong or is there a shorter way to do it? I need some help please Baliram Ramnanan |

Mailmerge merge fields
Hi Bali,
You can insert all of the fields in the one go and then arrange them, though that is not really very satisfactory. Or you can down load the sample file under the "Display list of merge fields in a non-modal dialog box" topic under the "Setting up the main merge document" section of the "Mail merge in Word 2002" item on fellow MVP Cindy Meister's website at: http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindy...r/MergFram.htm There is however a slight error in the code behind that form in that document which means that the Insert Field button on the form does not work. Double clicking on a field in the list does however work. To correct the error in the code, right click on the frmMergeFields under the Forms item in the Project Explorer in the Visual Basic Editor and select the View Code item. Then locate Private Sub cmdInsertFields_Click() and change it to Private Sub cmdInsertField_Click() -- Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis. Hope this helps Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Bali" wrote in message ...
