How do you create a signature of the user in a mailmerge letter?
I have created a mailmerge letter in Word 2007. I'm having trouble at the
end of my letter after the "Sincerely" getting it to print the users name instead of my name. Is there a merge field I can use for this or is there something else I need to do? |

How do you create a signature of the user in a mailmerge letter?
It depends.
the field { username } will insert the user name as set up in Word-Tools-Options-user information (Word 2003 and earlier) or the same field in Office Button-Word options-Popular, in Word 2007. Obviously, the user's name needs to be set up in an appropriate way if you do that, e.g. if you want the letter to be signed "Mr P Jamieson", you need to be sure that the option field doesn't contain "Pete" The {} need to be the special field code braces you can insert using ctrl-F9. Or, it might be appropriate to use the text set up in Word's Author property, in which case you could use { author } However, if you need to pick up the /Windows/ user name, there is no field to do that and you would have to do it in VBA, which would I suspect cause more complication than you probably want. -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Carrie" wrote in message ...

Thank you Peter that does help me, and you are right I am trying to stay away
from having to do it in VBA. Thanks again!
