Transfering Excel data into Word data file
Since I have been unable to solve the DDE problem (refer to Sept. 30 post
below), concerning the use of Excel name and address data files being used by Word merge files, I have created a name and address file (Header and Data) in Word instead. For some reason, this works, whereas attempts to use an Excel data file does not. However, two things arise. The Header file that I use is long enough that I cannot view all of the fields on the monitor, and there is no ability to scroll across the page. Secondly, I do keep numeric information in some of the fields in the Data file, which is why I originally used an Excel-based data file. Formerly, to update any data in the Excel data file, I would simply copy the incoming data from selected columns in incoming Excel spreadsheets, and copy the data into the appropriate fields in the name and address spreadsheet. Is there a way that I can take incoming data from Excel spreadsheets and copy it into the Word name and address file (i.e, the new data file)? Or, will I have to type it in manually, a laborious process? Thanks in advance. Gordon Biggar Houston, Texas |
