Hi,
I am trying to create a document in Word 2003 with the following properties. Section 1 - Coversheet, Table of Contents, Introduction Section 2 - Pulls in data from an Excel sheet, (several paragraphs with a short title and longer description) based on a value in each row to describe the audience Section 3 - Summary text No page breaks enforced by the mail merge. I've spent a day researching and experimenting and still haven't got here yet. For Section 1 - I've learnt how to use the Includetext and bookmarks to pull in text that is formatted (with varying degrees of success due to using heading styles and TOC). I am prepared to discard those in order to achieve my end goal. For Section 2 - I've learnt how to use the Directory mail merge but this repeats the text in section 1. I've read MS KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294686/ 'How to use mail merge to create a list sorted by category in Word' but haven't been able to make it work for me yet. Section 3 - should be simple, based on Include text I assume? If I wanted to replicate the original manual word file (for bonus credit) there would also be style headers (H1, 2 etc) in between the sections, including within Section 2 but again I realise this may be impossible. Can anyone offer advice on how I might complete this project? Thanks Matt |
