Problems migrating Word 97 mailmerge document to Word 2003
This is driving me buggy, and I hope someone can give me some advice
here so I can finish updating my Alumni directory webpage. I have for years been creating a directory of names/addresses/phone numbers from a database in a Word 97 word table. Now I have Word 2003 and cannot get a correct merge using the dang Word 2003 "Wizard". With Word 97 when I opened my template the Mail Merge toolbar would appear, and I could easily initiate the merge. I could then set merge options easily for which fields to use and how to sort the result. (Usually of course the options and sorting remained the same and I didn't need to make any changes to the template.) With Word 2003, none of that seems to work, and I am asked to select the fields to use by checking a box. This obviously does not work well with a database of about 800 fields. Is it possible to access something closer to the Word 97 merge in Word 2003? Am I missing something important here??? Appreciate any help, -Harry |
