Mail merge fields in a text box
Hi
Is there a way to create mail merge fields in a text box? I have custom-made letterhead where a graphic covers the whole sheet and the actual space for letter body is confined in a text box. If impossible, any suggestions to get around the situation? -- Maki @ Canberra.AU |

Mail merge fields in a text box
Use a frame or a table cell instead - or even set the margins and indents
correctly so that the text can be typed on the main page. Set the graphic's layout property to 'behind text' -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Maki wrote: Hi Is there a way to create mail merge fields in a text box?

Mail merge fields in a text box
I had the graphic's layout set to "behind text" and still hadn't realised
that I could type on the main page, without using text box! How embarrassing! Thanks, Graham, for the response. Much appreciated. -- Maki @ Canberra.AU "Graham Mayor" wrote: Use a frame or a table cell instead - or even set the margins and indents correctly so that the text can be typed on the main page.

Yes, just change the layout of the text box that it should be relative to the
page. "Maki" wrote: Hi Is there a way to create mail merge fields in a text box? I have custom-made letterhead where a graphic covers the whole sheet and the actual space for letter body is confined in a text box. If impossible, any suggestions to get around the situation? -- Maki @ Canberra.AU |
