Default Link for mail merge help not working

Hi ,

I used the 4th mehod using the vba. When i run the vba code i get only one
record merged . I would like to create the documents with all the records.
As we have 9 records in the example file.

Any help is appreciated.

Sorry - I found this info finally, however, I do not know what the "
cooressponding code" is. Any ideas?

Hi Doug, I am trying the 4th method, and got stuck on the following
steps:

1) insert a normal module and a class module into the main merge doc and
copy cooresponding code (where can I find these modules?)
2) go to tools/references in Visual Basic Editor (I do not think I have
VBE?!), can it still work? Where do I get VBE at?

Thanks!

Hi Doug,

Thank you for all of the additional suggestions, will certainly try
them
and do much research! I have Word 2003. I am sure something is bound
to
work. Thanks again,

Nancy

Hi Nancy,

For that method, you have to preview the merge data, one record at a
time,
and print as you go, which is probably not feasible if you want to do
it for
4,500 people, though as Cindy says, the process could be automated so
that
the preview and printing could be done automatically.

If you are using Word XP or later, I would recommend that you
investigate
the fourth method - "Creating the charts on the fly as the mailmerge
executes in the main merge document"

However, to learn a bit about the use of database fields, the
following
links may help:

Hello Doug, thanks for responding. I am trying to do a mail merge
from
excel
into word that adds an individual pie chart (pre-calculates) for
each
person
into the mail merge letter. The quantity of people is large (4500)
so it
would be hard to do individually. I thought that the suggestion
(number 2)
on
Cindy's website sounded like it may help, although the link that it
tells
you
how to do it was the one I wanted to read. I have searched the
discussion
groups to see what other people have done, but most just refer you
to
Cindy's
website for this. If you have any other suggestions that would be
great.
Thanks again, Nancy

I can't find the specific link that you mention on that page,
though
there
is a different one

http://www.knowhow.com/Guides/Compou...poundMeger.htm

on that page that I know no longer works.

Perhaps if you tell us what it is that you need help with, we may
be able
to
provide it.
