Easier way to merge?
The new and improved mail merge which Microsoft introduced in 2000 is a
pain if you have more than a few fields. Today I was developing a merge document to help a co-worker check her Outlook contacts. Did you realize that there are 92 fileds for each contact record? I though I would throw the machine out the window in the next office as I chose a filed, closed, returned, opened, chose next field, -- 92 times. There has got to be an easier way. Help!! |

See http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm and the
references to the merge toolbar, which enables you to do things as you did in earlier versions. Incidentally the changes were made in Word versions after 2000.
