The Ultimate Q: How do you flip rows and columns for headers?
This is based on Word & Excel 2003 on XP,
THE OBVIOUS: When someone uses Excel2003 to create a database for Word2003: Mail Merge the FIRST row is where all the headers go: Last Name, First Name, SSN, DOB, etc, etc, etc ...and I understand that logically it all makes sense to have the data entered in "rows" in order for Mail Merge to identify the data with the "header row" THE QUESTION: I need to accomplish the OPPOSITE of that. Need the Mail Merger to recognize the "first column" to be the "header column"(ie. A1 to A100) and the second column (B1 to B100) to be where the data will be entered... THE REASON: I recieve all my data in excel, in columns (that's the paramaters I MUST deal with). Would love to link the second column to word - mail merger to auto fill for me 30+ documents for signing... per person who sends the excel sheets! Rather than sit there all day and manually re-type everything into columns, need to figure out how to "reverse engineer" this to work for my situation... HELP! - so far all my searching has come up empty! ADK -- "I should have paid attention in computer class..." |
