Including a letter header on a page
I have a group of roughly 100 letters that are the subjects of mail merges.
I have to put a different letter header on each of these letters for each different organisation that uses them. It takes an hour to do it. I have been fiddling around with INCLUDETEXT and have found that if I add {INCLUDETEXT "Header.doc"} as the first thing in the letter and then place the letter header in a file called Header.doc in the same folder as the mail merge template, it works. Am I doing this correctly, it just seems too easy! dixie |

What I have discovered is that if I do this, then change my header.doc, the
Header in the letter is still showing the old header until I right click the IncludeText bracket and Select UpdateField. This takes longer than actually copying the new header into each letter. Is there some way I can get around this. For example, can I run an Update Field on that IncludeText when the letter is opened? I am not into programming in Word, so any reply will have to be detailed I'm afraid. dixie "dixie" wrote in message ... I have a group of roughly 100 letters that are the subjects of mail merges.

I have found an option in the Edit-- Links menu that has a radio button to
make the link update automatic or manual. It is set to manual. The control is 'greyed out' and I have been unable to find a way of getting this to tick automatic. Why are these set at manual. Is there a way to set them to automatic, which I think means that when you open the mail merge document, your INCLUDETEXT links would automatically update if they had changed. Anyone, Please. dixie "dixie" wrote in message ... I have a group of roughly 100 letters that are the subjects of mail merges.
