Headers/footers not working in Mailmerge
Hi everyone wonder if you can please advise.
I am creating reports in mailmerge. I have a problem though that the header and footer work fine. But when I email the report they go back to being mergefields. For example, Version «VersionNo» - this merged to be 1, 2 but when I send the email it goes back to Version «VersionNo». I had thought of putting this text in the body of the document, but this causes problems because the length of the document varies and so this text will appear in different places. Be grateful for help. It is driving me insane lol. -- Tracey P |

Headers/footers not working in Mailmerge
It sounds like you are emailing a preview of the document rather than
executing the merge. You should execute the merge to a new document and then email that new document. If you are merging multiple records at the one time and need to create individual documents for each record, see the "Individual Merge Letters" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at: http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm If you are using Word XP or later, the "Add-in to Merge Letters to Separate Files" that I have written and that can be downloaded from that site will allow you to create each letter as a separate file with a filename taken from a field in the data source with a minimum of fuss. -- Hope this helps.
