Using Word Mail Merge feature for custom templates
Hi,
First, I will apologize in case I am posting this in wrong group/section. The question is related to Ms-Word and Mail Merge functionality but is also to do with using these features in a web environment. Here is what I am trying to achieve: In a web application (.NET platform), I need to provide users with an option to create template for a letter using their own content/formatting/images and also use few mail merge fields to include information from a backend DB. Finally this letter needs to be saved on server and used for generating letters, using mail merge functionality, as and when requested by user. After some research and going through some MS-KB articles, I found mechanism of specifying custom fields for mail merge in a document and also using data source from remote server to specify the data for mail merge. The articles also mentions that Word cannot be hosted on a web-page as a control. I would like suggestion as to what options does .NET and MS-word provides to achieve the desired functionaltiy? All ideas and suggestions are very much welcome. I have been trying to find similar posts or anyone who has done similar thing (I had thought there will be quite a few people who would have already done this, when I proposed this functionality) without any result so far. Thanks in advance Samir |
