Includetext Merge Field
I have a word document that is just our letterhead with the logo and the
attorney names in a text box (letterhead.doc). In my many merge templates, I use the includetext merge field to merge in the file for the letterhead. I had to change the names of the attorneys in the letterhead.doc, but it did not update to any of the merge templates. I had to go into each individual merge template and do a select all F9 update. Does someone know why it is not automatically updating to the merge templates. Thanks |

What happens when you do a mailmerge? or do you use mailmerge for this. As
an attorney, I would be very leery of having saved documents that changed. I have my templates set up to bring in the latest letterhead information on new documents, but the ones that have already gone out don't change just because additional lawyers are added or the phone number changes. The document on disk is the same as the one in the client file. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
