How do I show the record number in a merge database?
I am using Word 2007 with the 'ribbon' type toolbars. Prior to this, when
you created a database to use with merge documents, each record had a number so you could choose which records to merge by number. Word 2007 does not show the record numbers, so you have to also make a manual list to keep similar records together. Does anyone know how to show the record numbers in your datatbase? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you. |

How do I show the record number in a merge database?
You can customize the Quick Access Toolbar by adding the original Mail Merge
Helper dialog from pre-Word XP days and/or by adding the individual buttons required for performing the whole mail merge operation. You will then be able to get access to the features that you are seeking. -- Hope this helps.

Thank you for the assist - all the menus are new and the db does not appear
in the same format as the older program. It's a shame decisions such as what to keep in a program revision are made so arbitrarily.
