Help, Can't Get Merge to work
I'm no expert, this is just a thought. It sounds like
this is a legal document. I'm a legal assistant in a law firm, however, self-taught with respect to Word/Access. I did set up a number of debentures and contract docs. for some of the lawyers which linked to an Access database, various calculations depending on shares, values, clauses to be inserted, deleted, etc. , and I found that I had to first set up the Word template using "styles" and using master docs and sub docs. However, I'm sure someone here must have an access macro solution for your problem. -----Original Message----- I have a mail merge document in Word 2003 attached to an Access 2003 database. The document is a contract and has numbered paragraphs. I want to be able to optionally include or exclude paragraphs based on values in the database, and I want the paragraphs to renumber. I also want to be able to omit subparagraphs (i.e. if paragraph 10 is gone, so should 10a, 10b, and 10c be gone.) I've been able to use the IF field to include or exclude text, but it leaves the empty numbered paragraph and subparagraphs. More specifically assume I have a document with three paragraphs. The second paragraph is a cancellation clause and the database has a field CanCancel. If CanCancel=true, I want a three paragraph agreement. If CanCancel=false, I was a two paragraph agreement where the second paragraph was omitted from the original and the third paragraph was renumbered #2. Anyone know if this is possible? TIA. -Mike Schinkel . |
