Hyperlink with mergefield for a target problem
Please help:
{ HYPERLINK "{ mergefield ClientURL }" } produces no display text in a Word 2002 document. Right click menu will edit, select, open, copy, remove the hyperlink. Edit Hyperlink dialog window shows the url for the proper merge record in the display text and address fields. Clicking OK there changes the field code to { HYPERLINK "http://www.leasetra....htm" } and displays the same text in the document. The url remains static as other merge records are selected from then on. The datasource is an Excel workbook. SP3 is installed. No outstanding updates. Any help correcting the problem or any alternative method of producing an active/unique hyperlink per merge record will be greatly appreciated. K |

Hyperlink with mergefield for a target problem
Hi Kim,
{ HYPERLINK "{ mergefield ClientURL }" } produces no display text in a Word 2002 document. Interesting. In my experience, it usually does, if you follow these steps: - Set up the merge document with everything except the hyperlink - When you're sure it's all good, create the hyperlink as you show, above - Do NOT toggle the field codes off - merge to a new document - Ctrl+A, F9 to force the fields to update Now toggle the field codes Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Sep 30 2003) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
