Programmatically merge into a merge document
I scanned the first few pages and didn't see my answer - sorry if this is a
repeat. I'm looking to take a given set of data entered online and to present to the user a merged letter (ideally as an image, PDF is OK too). The first step of this, the part I'm unsure of that I'm hoping someone can help, is to take that data set entered online and to end up with a merged letter. Thus I have the merge letter template, and the data source in memory, and I'd like to get a merged word document. (At which point I can convert to another format for the user). Can I do this programmatically (ideally entirely via memory, without saving a data source file to disk) - and if so, can you point me in the right direction? Thanks kindly, Chris Hlusak |

I'm not really sure what you mean by "data entered online", but maybe what
you should be using is a template containing a userform that presents the user with a form into which to enter the data and then, when they click on a command button on the form, transfers the data to the required places in the template either by inserting it into the .Range of bookmarks in the template of by creating document variables to hold each piece of data and having it displayed by { DOCVARIABLE } fields in the template. See the article "How to create a Userform" at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm -- Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested. Questions sent directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis. Hope this helps, Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Chris Hlusak" wrote in message ...
