Fields order changing
Hello there,
I'm using 2003 and when I connect to my Excel data source it connects fine. However, when I look at the Edit Recipients dialogue box some of the columns appear in a different order than they are in the original Excel spreadsheet. Anuone know why? Just curious! Judith |

Fields order changing
Word determines the sequence of fields - as far as I know it has some kind
of list of "address" fields and always tries to put them in a particular sequence. You can drag-and-drop the fields to resequence them but the reseqeuncing doesn't "stick". If you really want your fields to appear in a particular seqeunce you have to name them so that Word won't recognise them and will seqeunce them, e.g. something like F01myfield1, F02myfield2 and so on.
