Hi Folks,
We've upgraded to Office XP in an office. We use Mail merge with Word and excel a lot.
I've noticed that MS have changed Mailmerge to a wizard. Which in theory is quite easy. However as we are based in Europe I am having problems allocating address lines.
We basically have address 1, 2,3,4,5. And do not have things like State, or postal code.
Word gives you the option of associating your own field names to it's ones ie Address 4 can be related to Postcode. However I am still having problems with this as
1. You have to do this everytime you do a merge, and showing a multitude of staff this is a serious pain.
3. It still ends up with long address, as displaying up to two fields per line: particularily the last line.
Does anyone have a solution to this.
Or is there a way of not using the wizard. I now you can edit in field names individually through the wizard, but this is a very slow process.
Thanks
Dave
