Mail merge
I am using the mail merge to generate information on a document such as
patient information like name, date of birth, diagnoses etc from a datafile. When I e-mail this document the informationis missing and moire often the recipent cannot open the file since it is looking for the database or table I am using. Is it posible to eliminate the data fields from the letter once it is composed and ready to be e-mailed. This was not a problem previously when sending hard copy by post.. Thank you for anyone that can help -- john |

Mail merge
It sounds like you are not actually executing the merge. If you wish the
email the merge, execute the merge to email. Alternatively, Press Ctrl+A, then Ctrl+Shift+F9 (to select everything in the document and unlink the mergefields from the data source) then email the document by your present method, THEN CLOSE THE DOCUMENT WITHOUT SAVING IT as it will no longer be a mail merge main document. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
