Text form field in a mail merge main document
I have a report that contains text form fields, check box form fields
and drop down form fields that I need to customize to over 3,800 recipients. I have an Excel file of all of the recipients. I created a mail merge document with the form and ran the merge. All of the text form fields were replaced with spaces! I want to merge the data with the form and then protect the new set of forms. I cannot figure out how to keep the text form fields from the master document in the new merged document. Any help/recommendation on other ways to accomplish this would be really appreciated! |
