Word2003 data fields vs Word97
Not sure how to explain it, but I'll try.
In Word97 (or Word2000), when I connect to datasource, the entire list of data fields display, so I can put them in the template for the mail merge. But, in Word2003, I can only select 1 field. How do I get the entire list to display, so I can put several fields into the template? Thanks for your help. -Marty |

Word2003 data fields vs Word97
Anne-
Thanks. I did what it said, and I got the Insert Field Names button on the toolbar, however... When I open the Master Document (template?) I get a message saying database source name is not found, and no default driver was specified. So, I click OK and then click on find datasource. When I select the datasource, it asks me to select a table. But what I see are really fields from a table. I can only select one of them, not the entire table. (Which I can do in Word97) It takes me back to my document, and clicking on Insert Field Names, only brings up the one field I selected in the step above, whereas in Word97, I can see all of the fields. Please help. Thanks, Marty "Anne Troy" wrote: Hi, Marty.
