Default help with macros

You would have to advise how the data is arranged in the reports, is the
data always arranged in that way, etc. before anyone could suggest a macro
to you.

You might want to think however about designing the reports so that the data
extraction is facilitated.

Hi Graham,

Yes you are right. I need to extract specific field values from a word
document and create a label tag out of it.

I have an inspection report which has project data like Project desc,
project no, Component desc, Dwg no input. I have to extract this
information
and create a product tag. Is this possible.
I am not very good at macros. So any macro example which extracts data to
print will be of immense help.

Thanks in advance.

That
being the case, what is the information and how will the macro recognize
it
from the document?

Hi All.

I have to create a mail merge button which when clicked will merge
specific selected feilds from a word document and create a label tag.


I want to know if this can be automated and done. Ideally the user
should be prompted for what to enter and based on his input the
values should be displayed as a label.

Thanks for your help in advance.
