Help with merge documents
We just got new computers for an attorneys' office, and all of our merge
documents were in Word Perfect. We now want to move them into Word, but HOW do you make a merge document, and where do you save it? A lot of the language is the same, just adding in pertinent information. In Perfect, when we called up the document, we would hit Alt, Shift and C, and it would automatically space to where we needed to go to type text. Is there a book with step-by-step instructions, or can someone, anyone help us? We would appreciate all the responses we can get asap. Thank you. -- richard01esquire |

Help with merge documents
There is nothing in Word comparable to WP's keyboard merge (sadly, as I have
been totally unable to replicate my husband's WP invoice template in Word, much to his disgust).

Help with merge documents
You should be able to just open the WP docs in Word, but the amount of
modification required will depend on what sorts of functions you need to change or replicate. -- Suzanne S.
