Importing Data to specific Fields in a Word Document
ok I figured out that I can use mail merge to move the data i needed, When i
click the mail merge button and choose edit in indivdual documents it gives me an individual page for set of data, but NOT 1 page in 3 actual documents. So now i have 3 pages in document with 3 sets of info. I need to be able to save each page indivdually, i would think the edit in individual document would do that but it didnt or did i miss a step or do something wrong.

Importing Data to specific Fields in a Word Document
If you want three similar documents with different data you need three
records, then merge to a new document. Had it been Word 2002/3 you could then split the merge using the add-in at http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm , but I doubt that this will work with 2007 (you could try the macro on that web page). -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Phil Adler wrote: ok I figured out that I can use mail merge to move the data i needed, When i click the mail merge button and choose edit in indivdual documents it gives me an individual page for set of data, but NOT 1 page in 3 actual documents.

Importing Data to specific Fields in a Word Document
Ill take a look at that macro. When you say 3 different records do you mean 3
different excel spreadsheets. Lets say I have a spreadsheet with 50 different rows of input is each line a new record ? -- Thanks, Phil Adler "Graham Mayor" wrote: If you want three similar documents with different data you need three records, then merge to a new document.

Importing Data to specific Fields in a Word Document
That file listed above worked fine in word 2007 thank you vey much, one last
question for anyone. Basically i have to un-protect the document for comments to make the mail merge work then after the merge re-protect the document for comments to save the data that we dont want changed. Is there a way of having mail merge work when the document is protected or a script that can run at the end of the merge to do it automatically. Otherwise will have to open 100 documents and reprotect them ? -- Thanks, Phil Adler "Phil Adler" wrote: Ill take a look at that macro.

yes it could end up being quite a lot of data. This is a installation
checklist for an IT dept when we swap out old systems for new ones and we wanted to try and fill in as much as we can prior to sending it out to the tech -- Thanks, Phil Adler "Graham Mayor" wrote: I meant three lines of data - or in your case its apparently now 50 lines? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Phil Adler wrote: Ill take a look at that macro.
