when a presaved word template automatically merges with a spreadsheet is
there an easy way to do the merge and only pick one record to merge? are there any shortcuts to do the merge period? -- Michelle |

word 2003 mailmerge with excel
On the mail merge tool bar there is a button that looks like a table with a
pencil on it called "mail merge recipients" click on that and uncheck all and then check the ones you want. -- Chris Hayes Still a beginner "Michelle" wrote: when a presaved word template automatically merges with a spreadsheet is there an easy way to do the merge and only pick one record to merge? are there any shortcuts to do the merge period? -- Michelle |

word 2003 mailmerge with excel
Thanks for the response Chris. The problem is that it now brings up the info
from that in Access when the data is already open in Excel and I can't use it. What used to take 3 steps to do the merge now takes 12 every time. Any ideas? -- Michelle "CS Hayes" wrote: On the mail merge tool bar there is a button that looks like a table with a pencil on it called "mail merge recipients" click on that and uncheck all and then check the ones you want. -- Chris Hayes Still a beginner "Michelle" wrote: when a presaved word template automatically merges with a spreadsheet is there an easy way to do the merge and only pick one record to merge? are there any shortcuts to do the merge period? -- Michelle |

What were the three steps? Whatever you used to do before, should still be
possible. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Michelle" wrote in message ...

Doug
Sorry I was referring to how we used to be able to do a mailmerge with word 2000. When we had a word doc that had an excel spreadsheet as it's data source you would click on step one (the word doc), then step 2 get the data source (the spreadsheet) then step 3 was the merge itself with the excel data. with word 2003 it will open the spreadsheet and minimize it at the bottom of the page but now it opens up the data in an access and it now takes 12 clicks to accomplish the same thing that used to take 3. any shortcut ideas would be greatly appreciated as well as how to use the spreadsheet again (if possible). thanks michelle -- Michelle "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: What were the three steps?

From the Tools menu, select Customize and then select the All Commands
category and scroll down through the list of commands until you see the Mail Merge Helper item. Click and drag that onto a toolbar or the expanded Tools menu. That will give you back the old three-step interface. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
