Duplication Error
I have two applications that merge data into Word 2003. Each application when
it merges, the fields in my word documents are duplicated several times for each field. What could be the issue. I have reinstalled Word, both applications, renamed the normal.dot file to not avail. Any help would be appreciated. Ronald |

Duplication Error
the fields in my word documents are duplicated several times for
each field. Can you describe what this looks like? For example if you have abc{ MERGEFIELD field1 }def{ MERGEFIELD field2} does the out put have abcfield1valuefield1valuedeffield2valuefiel d2value or abcfield1valuedeffield2value abcfield1valuedeffield2value or what? Is change tracking switched on? Could it be to do with that? Peter Jamieson "Ronald_L" wrote in message ... I have two applications that merge data into Word 2003.

Duplication Error
OK, I don't know what the problem is, but is your application automating
Word? If so, a. what happens when you do the same merge manually? b. what code is being used to automate Word? Peter Jamieson "Ronald_L" wrote in message ...

Duplication Error
I don't know how each application is calling Word to merge the documents. All
I know is that Word is being called by each one and then the duplication happens. Reinstalling Word and the applications did not help on this machine. All my other machines are fine.

Duplication Error
In that case I can only suggest:
a. ensure that the settings in Word Tools|Settings|Edit are the same on the machine that does not work as they are on a machine that does. (I do not think this will make any difference but it's all I can think of). I would also check that you have the same templates and addins in Tools|Templates and Add-ins. b. since you have just re-installed everything, use the registry editor to delete Word's "data key" in the registry - see the following article for information about that: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm (look at the section called "Deleting and recreating the corrupt registry values") Peter Jamieson "Ronald_L" wrote in message ...
