Default run macro after mail merge

Hi! I'm new to this forum, but have found no help by searching.

I have a merged document that I want a series of macros to run. The macros run fine when I open the document from MS Word. When I do the merge, the macros do not want to run.

Please may I have some help on how to solve this.

Default run macro after mail merge

You'd have to explain more in detail what the macros do and how you run them...

Hi Stefan

The macro converts to pdf and saves to the hard drive. I need them to run after the mailmerge. The AutoRun macro does not run after the merge.

regards,
Darryl

Default run macro after mail merge

Darryl,

I suspect that running the whole process (the merge and the saving) in a macro
would be the most efficient way. However, I'd recommend that you repost in a VBA
forum, such as the Word Developer forum at TechNet
(http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/For...rddev/threads). You'd have to
register a Live ID, if you haven't already got one.

Hi Stefan

Thanks for the help. I am running the merge from a SAP report, so the macros have to run after the merge.

I have heard something about Mail Merge Events but do not know how to code it.

Default run macro after mail merge

That's definitely a situation where a developer forum would be more helpful
then. :-)

Good luck!
