Emailing a Merged Catalog
Hi,
I am trying to create a mailmerge where order acknowledgments are emailed to customed. The data is held in a text file with these fields: Cust Ordernum Model Qty Orddat Duedat I would like the email to list orders per customer - for example: Cust=Bloggs Ordernum Model Qty Orddat Duedat 12345 BBB11 1 01/01/06 05/01/06 543 ABB2 4 01/01/06 06/01/06 etc I can complete the merge just as i need to a 'Catalog' but can't work out how to send it as email. If I choose the word Email merge the layout all goes wrong. Any ideas? |

Emailing a Merged Catalog
The only destination that is available with a Catalog type mail merge is to
a new document. If you want to send it out my email, that will have to be done as a separate operation. Assuming that you have more than one customer in the document produced by executing the merge, you will need to split the document into separate documents for each customer. That can probably be automated with a macro. See the "Group Multiple items for a single condition" item on fellow MVP Cindy Meister's website at http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindy...faq1.htm#DBPic Or take a look at the following Knowledge Base Article http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;211303 http://www.knowhow.com/Guides/Compou...poundMerge.htm -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Martin Harris" wrote in message ...
