Blank Fields do not merge properly
I have created a form letter in Word 2002 using a merge
with an excel document. Results of my merges are not correct. When I merge the data, blank fields from the excel sheet display the data from the previous record in the merge results. PLEASE help. I have found solutions for 97 and 2000 but they don't work for 2002. |

Blank Fields do not merge properly
Hi Joel,
This problem crops up occasionally, and appears to be due to the new default connection method, OLE DB. In the Word 2002 section of my website's Mail Merge FAQ you'll find instructions on how you can set up Word to merge the way Word 97 and 2000 did; try that.
