Hello -
I need to create a merge letter that includes a drop down form field. The merge letter is a pretty typical one and I do not have trouble setting it up, except that there is one item that needs to be included in the letter that has 3 possible fill-ins. This is a sentence that needs to be worded exactly the same way each time it is used. I would like to add this as a drop down field to my merge letter in either the letter itself or, preferably, the data source. I'm encountering two problems: 1. Each of the three sentence options are longer than the drop down form field allows - I'm not sure what the character limitation is, but I'm running into it. 2. When I set up the data source as a form, the data does not merge to my letter correctly. Is it even possible for a merge letter to contain form fields, or for the data source to contain form fields? If not, is there another way to have a drop down list of options in a merge letter? Thanks! |
