set up as a letter merge???
Hi
When I merge the main document with data records in an Excel sheet and send the results to the printer I get this error: "Run-time error '5661': You cannot send a catalog created by merging documents directly to mail, fax or printer." How do set up merge as a letter merge rather than a catalog merge? Please help me, im a newbie.. |

In Word 2000 or earlier, click on the MailMergeHelper icon in the Mailmerge
toolbar (it's typically to the right of the | button) and select the merge type using the first button in the dialog box. In Word 2002 or 2003, either restart the Mail Merge Wizard and select the document type in the first pane, or use e.g. Tools|Customize to enable the mailmerge toolbar, click the first button and select the letters option.
