Merge fields in a document with a watermark
I created a document that has our company logo as the watermark centered on
the page. I then typed the document with merge fields placed where needed (merge fields are coming from an Access database that we use). When I test the procedure in Word it works without fail but when I move the word document into the Access database so the fields merge it fails. So after several attempts I removed the watermark and low and behold it worked. Add the watermark back and it fails. Is there anything I can do to get around this????? |

Merge fields in a document with a watermark
What do you mean by "move the word document into the Access database"?
The normal process would be to attach a table or query from the Access database to the mail merge main document via the Select Recipients facility. -- Hope this helps.

Merge fields in a document with a watermark
Ok, in our Access database we have several letters that are used to mail out
notices and such. Each word document also has a corresponding file with an RTF extension. The letters are then saved into subfolder with the main database folder. When I created the new certificate (the one with the watermark) I did as I always do and make a duplicate as an RTF extension save both in the "Letters" subfolder. However before saving it in the folder I always test it by checking for erros and testing and during this phase you have to link (is that the right word) to the Access ODBC.
