how do i suppress the header record in mailmerge
In Word (MS Office 2003) mailmerge creates a document for the header record
which describes what fields are contained in each data record. I only want to create documents for each data record - how do I do this? |

how do i suppress the header record in mailmerge
Create a document with a table. The first row of your table contains your
field names. The rest of the rows contain your data. http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...DataSource.htm -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

how do i suppress the header record in mailmerge
I need to do the opposite, this means to keep the header record because my
data source is a .txt file without headers. I used to do that with other office versions, but can´t with office 2003. Any help? (I can´t find where to select the header record file.)

Select Tools Customize Commands (tab)
Select "All Commands" under Categories (on the left) Scroll down the list on the right to find "MAilMergeHelper" Click and drag it to a toolbar. Close the Dialog. Click on your new button to use the old mail merge. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Sorry, I´ve already tried this (You 've suggested the same to someone else),
but the same assistant appeared. Any other suggestion? Thanks anyway. -- Adriana "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: Select Tools Customize Commands (tab) Select "All Commands" under Categories (on the left) Scroll down the list on the right to find "MAilMergeHelper" Click and drag it to a toolbar.

how do i suppress the header record in mailmerge
If by the same assistant you mean something OTHER than the one with the
title Mail Merge Helper and containing the big 1, 2 and 3 all on one dialog, then you did not get hold of the right command when using ToolsCustomize. If you get the right Mail Merge Helper (the one with the 1, 2 and 3) then under 2 there is a Header Options item under the Get Data pulldown. -- Hope this helps.
