Merge fields not showing data in word footer
We are generating form letters using MS Word 2000 and then sending out
through email (Exchange 2003 mail server) using mail merge wizard. When the document gets emailed out all the merger fields except for the one in the footer is not getting merged. If I open the attachment directly from email the merged data is not there. If I save the document to my local computer the merged data appears. If I email the doc outside my organization the same exact thing happens. Has anyone experienced this before? |

Merge fields not showing data in word footer
Could your problem be that e-mails use html format which is not compatible
with footers (or pages for that matter)? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Banks wrote: We are generating form letters using MS Word 2000 and then sending out through email (Exchange 2003 mail server) using mail merge wizard.

Merge fields not showing data in word footer
See the "Individual Merge Letters" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website
at: http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm If you are using Word XP or later, the "Add-in to Merge Letters to Separate Files" that I have written and that can be downloaded from that site will allow you to create each letter as a separate file with a filename taken from a field in the data source with a minimum of fuss. And, then send the letters as attachments using the method in the article "Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments" at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...ttachments.htm -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Banks" wrote in message ups.com...
