merge files
When setting up a merge, I would like to be able to have .mer file types show
automatically in the type of files box. Currently, I am shown all files except mer files as possible files to use in my merge. I have to go to the pull down in the the "types of file" box and select .mer files. Is there a way to change this? MT |

What type of file is a .mer file? The simplest thing would be to change the
extension to one that automatically appears. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

merge files
But is it, for example, a delimited text file like this
nameoffield1,nameoffield2 ro1field1data,row1field2data row2field1data,row2field2data (in which case, if possible, change the extension to .txt or .csv) or something else? Which version of Word are you using? -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Molly" wrote in message ... Hi, A .mer file is a filemaker pro 6 file type. It is used to merge documents into Word.
