Text Form Fields Dissappear when I do Mail Merge To New Document 2
How do I keep my Text Form Fields from dissappearing when I do a Mail Merge
to New Document in Word 2003? I tried the Macro solution on the MS website and that doesn't want to work right. I have created a form to email to independent contractors in my field that I would like them to fill out and email back to me, but when I mail merge they all dissappear but my Drop-Down Boxes stay. At the top of my form I also have data that I have merged from an Excel file. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks |

Text Form Fields Dissappear when I do Mail Merge To New Document 2
Hi Barbis,
If the MS macro didn't work for you, that's probably because you didn't get the implementation right. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "Barbis" wrote in message ...

Form fields and mail merge are mutually exclusive. There is a suggestion on
MY web site, which has nothing to do with MS, that may work around the problem for you http://www.gmayor.com/Form_Fields_and_Mail_Merge.htm. There you will find three macros that will work with a variety of data sources. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Barbis wrote: How do I keep my Text Form Fields from dissappearing when I do a Mail Merge to New Document in Word 2003?
