Default Mailmerge field result to insert word document

Hi Graham,

Thanks for the reply, I have tried various versions of what you suggested
but just keep getting text after the entry number:

69703{ INCLUDETEXT "Q:\\BookData\\Editor\\Entries{Mergefield EntryID}.doc" }

69703{ INCLUDETEXT "Q:\\BookData\\Editor\\Entries{Mergefield EntryID}" }

69703{ INCLUDETEXT "Q:\BookData\Editor\Entries{Mergefield EntryID}.doc" }

69703{ INCLUDETEXT "Q:\BookData\Editor\Entries{Mergefield EntryID}" }

Should I omit anything from the code?

You could use

{INCLUDETEXT "D:\\Path\\{Mergefield EntryID}"}
OR
{INCLUDETEXT "D:\\Path\\{Mergefield EntryID}.doc"}

Depending on what is in the EntryID field

I have a my data source for mailing customers and once merged the «EntryID»
show ##### which is the customers unique .doc file name.

What I need to then get word to do is instead of showing this number is to
find the relating .doc file and insert the text from it.

Is this possible?
