select order of mail merge
Let see if I can easily explain this problem.... I am trying to merge project
resumes. My data document is a word doc (using table format). Each record consists of a project number and description. My original document has the boiler plate info that has to appear on the persons resume. What I need to do is merge the two documents (by using unique field of project number), selecting various projects in the data document and also be able to change the order that they appear. Is this possible? Any ideas on how to do it? I certainly appreciate any ideas that you might have. |

Word merge can only work with a single flat data file. What you *might* be
able to do is bookmark the various boilerplate texts in their containing document with names that can be associated with the data. eg something along the lines {IncludeText "C:\\path\\docname" {Mergefield field_with_bookmark_name}} -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Sandi B wrote: Let see if I can easily explain this problem....

Sounds scarey enough to work! Keep your fingers crossed and I'll give it a
whirl. Thank you for your help. "Graham Mayor" wrote: Word merge can only work with a single flat data file.
