microsoft.public.word.mailmerge.fields :

i have been looking for code/reference/advice for last three days.no
luck(google search and msdn search).any help would be appreciated


I found this article from a dBase expert very helpful for my first
steps:

http://www.dbase.com/Knowledgebase/adv/activex/WordOlde/word.htm

Titled "MS Word Mail-Merge.how", authored by Gary White, dBVIPS

BTW, the assignment of values to the mail-merge fields during the
mail-merge process is done by the Mailmerge-Engine of Word itself. No
need to do individual programming for that, especially when, as you
wrote, the template being used already does have the necessary
mail-merge fields defined.


Yours,
