format merged data from access
Hi all
I have a merged letter which is created from within MS Access, it merges two company names per page and I want both of these to be all capitalised. I looked in help and found an article on formatting merged data. It stated I could put the switch \*Upper to achieve the result I want. I pressed Alt F9 to view the merged code and added the switch but it does not work. Help did not actually show an example, I've tried adding it to the front and behind the field name eg « MERGEFIELD "MergeName" \*Upper » or « MERGEFIELD \*Upper "MergeName" » and also inside the quotes but nothing seems to work? Can anyone help with this please? Thanks in advance. Sue |

sorry... I had spaces in the switch which it didn't like. Removed these and
now all names are displayed in capitals as desired.

If you have an inseted field called Mergename and you toggle the field
with ALT+F9, you should see {Mergefield Mergename} It is with this view that you should add switches thus {Mergefield mergename \*Upper} See also http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org hughess7 wrote: Hi all I have a merged letter which is created from within MS Access, it merges two company names per page and I want both of these to be all capitalised.
