Mail Merge of 97 & 2003 docs into 2007
We have a bunch of mail merge documents that were created in 97 or 2003 which
do not work with 2007. They are 2 Word documents, one of which is the datasource consisting of a table of "merge fields", the other is the letter. When you open the Main doc (the letter) you had a toolbar button called Data form where you entered the information to merge together for each letter. For example Name, address, city, state, zip, etc. Once the Data forms were filled in you clicked on the View Merged data (abc button) and there was all the information you input merged into the letter. You could then merge to printer or a new document. Well, in 2007 I cannot find the Data form button to input the information to merge. Can anyone please help???!!! |

Data form? You can create a datasource in Word 2007 from the Mailings tab
(Select Recipients - Type New List) or open an existing data source - see http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org itgirl wrote: We have a bunch of mail merge documents that were created in 97 or 2003 which do not work with 2007.

Mail Merge of 97 & 2003 docs into 2007
I figured it out with your help. If I go to Edit Recipient List, highlight
the Datasource, and click Edit, it brings up the Data Form my end users are used to seeing. It's just one more step but a heck of a lot easier than having to rebuild 100 plus docs which is what I was beginning to think I was going to have to do. Whew!! Thanks for your help!
