Text field breaks when mailmerged
I position a { mergefield letterdesc } in my document and run mailmerge.
My source is another word document which holds a table. Everything works ok if letterdesc has one row of text. But if letterdesc has some long text separated to several lines of text by ENTER, the result is several pages - as many as the lines of text - instead of one page. Every page shows one line of text. The first page displays the text in the right position, the other pages display the lines in a different position. Any ideas? TIA. |

Try using Edit Replace on the datasource to replace the ENTERS (^p) with
SHIFT+ENTERS (^l) That is new lines instead of new paragraphs. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
