Cross Referencing Mailmerge Bookmarks
Hello,
I posted this in another forum before I saw this one, so please excuse the re-post. I have an application using OLE built in PowerBuilder that does a mail merge using Word 2003. I am using bookmarks to insert things like first name, last name, address, etc. This works fine if I only want to merge each bookmark once. After reading many of these posts I discovered that what I want to do is then cross reference that bookmark any number of times. However, I am unable to get the bookmarks to print anytime other than the first. I have a bookmark named fname. My original bookmark prints fine as "Charlie". However, when I cross reference to fname and run the merge, my second instance displays "fname". I have tried the ctrl + A and F9 trick and right clicked on the new reference and clicked update, and still no luck. Is the problem that Word cannot cross reference to a value that is programmatically set? I have clicked tools | options | print | update fields, but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks, Brian |
