Fields show in preview pane but not after merge
I am using XP professional, merging from excel2002 into word 2002.
I had to work around my first record not having data in some of the columns and thus causing the rest of the entry in the word doc to not fill. I put a period in each empty column... I have to live iwth that I guess. now I can SEE all the data I want exactly how I want it to print in the template page - using the "ABC" function to see the sample.. but when I merge to a new doucment, many fields are blank - they used to have text! I tried connectign thru the DDE way - I tried saving teh data as .csv and resaving with new name as xlw. Any more suggestions? thanks TMC |

If you create a really simple Excel data source with sparsely populated
columns, and try to merge from it, do you see the same result? (FWIW I have no difficulty merging with a source with empty columns here) Peter Jamieson "TMC" wrote in message ...
