problem supressing blanks/repeating merged data
Word 2003
WinXP Mail Merge Letters from MS Excel Worksheets via DDE My experience was when I merged to a new document Word did not suppress all blank fields and carried over data into that field from a previous record. The problem was inconsisent and puzzling. Out of 618 letters 112 of them were effected by this error. The problem started on record 112 when two fields that were blank for that record contained merged data from the previous record. The problem continued until record 127 and then it was fine again for a while until record 224 the same thing happened and continued until record 319 and then cleared up again. This isn't the only time this has happened to me. It happens infrequently and sometimes fixes itsself when I rerun the merge to individual letters again. But I want to know if this is a bug and if there is anyway of fixing it because I just sent out 112 incorrect letters to my employees. Thanks, Rose O'Keefe Oregon Steel Mills |
