Default How to fill a word table with merge fields.

Hi there,

I have the macro installed but when I am in the merged document and run the
macro I don't see any change in my document. I still get individual tables
versus the look of one table. It's like nothing is happening at all.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the sites. I managed to follow the tutorial from
http://www.gmayor.com/Zips/Catalogue%20Mailmerge.zip but their is a macro
that it says to run to join the tables together and I have no idea how to run
this. It says to run it on the merged document so i go to the merged
document, select the macro and select run but it doesn't do anything. So I
get a series of single tables... which is close but it would look better if
they were joined. Am I suppose to highlight each separate group of tables or
is there some trick to it. I am using word 2003. The table joiner macro
looks like this.

Sub TableJoiner()
Dim oPara As Paragraph
For Each oPara In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs
With oPara.Range
If .Information(wdWithInTable) = True Then
With .Next
If .Information(wdWithInTable) = False Then
If .Text = vbCr Then .Delete
End If
End With
End If
End With
Next
End Sub



Thank you for your help. I would never in a million years have guessed how
to do this.

Hi there,
I'd like to create a mail merge for each instructor in an excel list and
show all the courses and dates they are teaching inside a table.

I've managed to create a mail merge with a 'directory' so I can get the list
of the courses and dates but of course they aren't formatted so it doesn't
look good. I would like to put these into a table.

I've tried to create a table and put the merge fields in it but then I only
get one record per instructor and I don't know what happens to the other
records.

Is there some trick to this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi ibmm,

Are you sure the merged document is the active one when you run the macro?
