Can Word stop during the course of a merge to add additional data
I'm totally reaching for the ultimate but in a "novice" level.....
I have a database table that is available to merge into a word document letter that is used by staff. Depending upon the circumstances behind the letter, the counselors will choose which row of data from the table the want to merge. This all takes place when they are in word. However, now they want to know that if the "canned statement" has a requirement to enter data into the field can they pause the merge to do this. This is so hard to explain..... Staff open Word Document Opens as a Mailmerge option with an Access Database Table Using Mailmerge option of Word they choose the row of data for their specific letter Staff chooses Merge Letter is created; however they discover they have to enter a specific date or country into the letter from the circumstances of the situation. so.........is there a way to stop at those points in the letter per each circumstance to have staff fill in the information. Thanks and I'm sorry its confusing.... |

Can Word stop during the course of a merge to add additional data
Is it just one letter at a time that is being produced?

Yes, just one letter at a time.

While mail merge can be used to create just one document, it is normally
used for the creation of multiple documents. If you want to be able to edit the document that it produces, the thing to do would be to execute the merge to a new document, and then edit that. -- Hope this helps.
