problem with trademark symbols word 2003 and 2007
See email "How do I get symbols to display in mail merge". I think this is
resolved. "cocciastella" wrote: Sorry for long post to explain the problem. I've created a mail merge, text file datasource that pulls from a database. In UI the user enters trademark character. In the datasource the trademark char is displayed: "Classic®","Oakridge PRO 30„˘","High Ridge with Sealant","High Style„˘ with Sealant","Hip and Ridge with Sealant" When the user tries to merge the datasource with this data, word displays the Header Record Delimiter and asks for the Field delimiter (comma is the field delimiter). It then displays the unmerged document with the merge fields. The merge works perfectly for other datasources and works for the Registered Trade Mark and the Copyright symbols. It seems that it is failing on the Trademark. I have also had it ask for the Language and it was assuming it is Japanese. I found a post and changed the default language to English US. The last couple of times I tried to create the merge for this datasource it did not ask for the language. If I initiate the merge from the failed word doc by selecting Letters and Mailings etc, etc, and merging to a new doc it works. Of course this is not a good solution. TIA |
