mail merge directory
I am importing a table from Word 2007 into a Word 2007 directory (Name of
company, renewal date, phone number,etc) . I have been able to do this for the last year and a half. Just switched to Vista ultimate and it doesn't seem to let me do this for some reason. Upon browsing for the data source and choosing the 'ClientDatabase.docx', a prompt appears asking me to now insert header record delimiters. I have tried to choose (random) options because I don't know what they want. It never works and there is no option in the original word table to add 'header record delimiters'. I don't even know what that is! My table doc has a header row with the labels for the columns. Any ideas? |

Try opening ClientDatabase.docx and save it in Word 97-2003 format and see
if you can use that. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

It sounds like the table in the document may be corrupt. Try selecting the
table and then use Convert Table to Text and the convert it back to a table again and see if that resolves the issue. -- Hope this helps.
