Mail merge by data categories
Hi I'm trying to implement the following mail merge
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294686/en-us I followed the instructon perfectly but it doesn't work. The result should be: Atlanta Galos $3,000 Delaney $50,000 Henningsen $10,000 Houston Johnson $8,000 Kelly $9,000 Pak $0 But in my case I obtain Atlanta Galos $3,000 Atlanta Delaney $50,000 .... etc so the grouping mechanism doesnt' work. It seem that the MERGESEQ didn't work and also the carriage return (ENTER key). I'm using excel and word 2007 _______________________________________ This is the script. Field braces are inserted pressing CTRL+F9 and the carriage return is done by press the ENTER key. { IF { MERGESEQ } = "1" "{ MERGEFIELD CITY }¶ " "" }{ SET Place1 { MERGEFIELD CITY }}¶ { If { Place2 } { Place1 }"¶ { MERGEFIELD CITY }¶ ¶ { MERGEFIELD EMPLOYEE } { MERGEFIELD SALES }" "{ MERGEFIELD EMPLOYEE } { MERGEFIELD SALES }" }{ SET Place2 { MERGEFIELD CITY }}¶ |

Did you have the data source sorted by location and did you set the merge
document type to directory? Fellow MVP 'macropod' has posted a tutorial on this, with working field codes and a sample Excel data source, at: http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/show...?Number=731107 -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org nnetfabio wrote: Hi I'm trying to implement the following mail merge http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294686/en-us I followed the instructon perfectly but it doesn't work.

Hi Graham,
yes I have the data source correctly sorted and I have choosen the document type directory. The strange behaviour is that I have downloaded also the macopod's example files and they dont' work neither on my PC with Word and excel 2007, nor in another machine with excel and word 2003. As soon as I open the word file a popup window appears saying: "If you open this document the following command will be executed: Select * from c:\users\Waramanga\Documents\System\Catalogue Merge Data.xls Do you want to continue?" If I click on "Yes" a blank page opens. I have verified if the data source is connected and it is. Do you think that could be a problem the office language? I have Word and Excel in Italian.

The main document is supposed to be empty initially - have you read the
tutorial document that accompanies it? The security message can be suppressed - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=825765.

Graham, I don't mind about the popup message, it's not a problem, the problem
is that the page is blank even if I press SHIFT+F9 or ALT + F9 (in my italian version). No fields are shown. Do you have any other example that I can try?
