Merge & fill-in forms
Is it possible to create a fill-in form and merge with another file? I
created the fill-in form and was able to merge, but when I saved it, I was not able to access each page after opening the file. When I opened the file the only page available was the page that was current when the file was saved. I was hoping to have the file accessible to others, in order for them to complete their portion of the form. |

Merge & fill-in forms
The two features are incompatible. However, if you only want to use Text
Input Form Fields, if you run the following macro after setting everything up in the mail merge main document (data source attached, merge fields inserted, formfields inserted), it will execute the merge to a new document and reinstate the formfields into each of the "letters" that are created in that document using the data from the data source. Dim i As Long With ActiveDocument For i = .FormFields.Count To 1 Step -1 .FormFields(i).Range.Text = "FF" & i Next i With .MailMerge .Destination = wdSendToNewDocument .Execute End With End With Selection.HomeKey wdStory With Selection.Find Do While .Execute(FindText:="FF[0-9]{1,}", Forward:=True, _ MatchWildcards:=True, Wrap:=wdFindStop, MatchCase:=True) = True ActiveDocument.FormFields.Add Selection.Range, wdFieldFormTextInput Loop End With -- Hope this helps.
