Merge data into form fields?
Hello,
Does anyone know if it is possible to place a drop-down form field on a word document and have its values populated via mail merge? I tried but can't get it to work, I wasn't sure if I was missing something... Thanks! |

Why would you even want to do that?

I have a customer who is requested it, they would like to be able to choose
from the dropdown after merging if at all possible. "Anne Troy" wrote in message news:74395$42cbed33$97c5108d$15191@allthenewsgroup s.com...

Do you mean populate the values of the drop with the data from the
datasource, or create a mailmerge document that contains a dropdown formfield. If it's the latter, the two features that you wish to use are mutually exclusive. It could however be done by using DOCVARIABLE fields instead of mailmerge fields and using VBA to iterate through the datasource, creating a documnet for each record and setting the value of the variables. -- Hope this helps.
