Merging in Publisher 2002
When working on mail merges in Word, you have a source
document and a master or main document that combined, produced a seperate MERGED DOCUMENT that you can edit and then print. I can't figure out how to produce a MERGED DOCUMENT within Publisher. I have a source document that I import into a master or main document, but if I edit that document, I change every page in that document. For example, I have an insert field called Publication Name. After I hit VIEW MERGE I can skip through the document and view names that have been imported to replace the Publiscation Name insert field, for example, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Jones and Mr. and Mrs. John Doe. However, let's say that I only want Jane Doe to be listed on that last page, instead of both names. If I try to change that in the document, then everywhere the Publication Name merge field exists, I get Jane Doe...it changes ALL of them. Does this make sense? I want to edit in a seperate WORKING document like I do in Word...how do I do this? |

Merging in Publisher 2002
A small child turns to Ed, and exclaims: "Look! Look! A post from Kelly
Chadwick !"... When working on mail merges in Word, you have a source document and a master or main document that combined, produced a seperate MERGED DOCUMENT that you can edit and then print. I can't figure out how to produce a MERGED DOCUMENT within Publisher. Publisher 2002 does not support to this option. FWIW, if you have Windows 2000 or XP, you can upgrade to Publisher 2003 which has this option. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://www.mvps.org/the_nerd/ Before reading this message, view the disclaimer: http://mvps.org/the_nerd/disclaim.htm |
