mailmerge preview does not update includetext data
One of my associates is using XP and Word 2003. She's using includetext to
bring the right version of a table into a form letter. The data updates correctly when she runs the merge, but when she previews the letters, sh sees the same table in all of them, even thoguh the other data updates correctly. On my machine, using Win2000 and Word 2002, the preview looks fine. Any thoughts on how to get her preview to look right? |

Hi ?B?cm9icmFjaGxpbg==?=,
One of my associates is using XP and Word 2003. She's using includetext to bring the right version of a table into a form letter. The data updates correctly when she runs the merge, but when she previews the letters, sh sees the same table in all of them, even thoguh the other data updates correctly. On my machine, using Win2000 and Word 2002, the preview looks fine. Any thoughts on how to get her preview to look right? Ctrl+A, F9 should do it... The difference in behavior may be due to the new security stuff built into Word 2003.

Thanks, Cindy. We tried that with no success. I also installed the registry
key described in the article, but that didn't help, either. It's a mystery, still. Rob "Cindy M -WordMVP-" wrote: Hi ?B?cm9icmFjaGxpbg==?=, One of my associates is using XP and Word 2003.

Hi ?B?cm9icmFjaGxpbg==?=,
We tried that with no success. By "that" you mean Ctrl+A, F9 before going into PrintPreview?
