WordArt in Mail Merge
As iti is the season to be jolly I was printing some Christmas Cards. What I
tried to do was put a mailmerge field into the WordArt phrase. It still printed the phrase completely ignoring the field. As you can get some nice effects with Wordart does anybody know if it is possible to use WordArt and mailmerge? Thanks in advance. |

You can only successfully use mail merge fields in the text layer of the
document. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Sean Bishop wrote: As iti is the season to be jolly I was printing some Christmas Cards.

Can you reference the value of a Bookmark in a WordArt object? Set the
bookmark to the mergefield value then put the bookmark in the WordArt? Just a thought. ph "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

WordArt in Mail Merge
This blows.
What is up with all the arbitrary absent features in Word, even as of Word 2007. You can't use a merge field in a wordart, you can't make a script call from a merge field... It's enough to drive one bonkers!
