can not select delimiters with txt source
I have a comma delimited file that I want to use for the
merge. Actually I have a few different files with different data. The first file I tried works fine. The second file that I try to use (click on Open Data Source) prompts to confirm data source (and I choose txt) but does not prompt for "header record delimiters". It just opens the file and then never ever sees any of the fields. I have tried regenerating both files and still the same outcome: success for the first and nothing for the second file. They are both generated in the exact same way but come from different input data. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave |

can not select delimiters with txt source
Hi Dave,
Let's start with the version of Word we're dealing with, here? Are the field names exactly the same for both sources? You say "It just opens the file and then never ever sees any of the fields". So, when you open the list of field names, what do you see? How many fields do the two data sources contain? I have a comma delimited file that I want to use for the merge. Actually I have a few different files with different data. The first file I tried works fine. The second file that I try to use (click on Open Data Source) prompts to confirm data source (and I choose txt) but does not prompt for "header record delimiters". It just opens the file and then never ever sees any of the fields. I have tried regenerating both files and still the same outcome: success for the first and nothing for the second file. They are both generated in the exact same way but come from different input data.
