Word 2007 Mail Merge Problem
I have several certificates that I use in word where I merge data from
Access. It has worked fine until this week and now all I get is a blank sheet--no certificate. The only way I can see it is in full view. This happens on all my merged documents. I can go to another computer and using the same documents everything works fine. Last week, for the first time I used the compare feature to compare 2 documents. Would this have done something to my word installation? I also get the security box: Opening this document will run the following SQL command: . . . I never use to get this box when I merged from Access to Word. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am completely stumped. |

See the following Knowledge Base article:

I don't know whether it will overcome your first issue, but try it for starters/ -- Hope this helps.

Word 2007 Mail Merge Problem
Ok, I haven't tried the work around yet because I discovered something else.
When I merge with the document, I can't see it but I can print it. If I just open the word document without a merge I still can't see it but I can print it. Very strange. This happens only with a document that I built using a word template from years ago. |
