MailMerge to create table
Could someone guide me as to how I can use MailMerge to generate a table?
I have a text file with 3 fields: Description, Response & Sup I have a Word doc in which I have a Table with 4 columns (ID, Des/Resp. Date, Sup.) and the Des/Resp row is the split One row for Desc. and 1 row for Resp. I am looking to automatically to generate a row in the table for each row in the text file. The ID is taken care of by formatting & the date is today's date so also taken care of, I tried using MailMerge but it create a separate document for each record rather than a ned row in the table. How can I resolve this? Thank you, Qb |

MailMerge to create table
Change the mail merge main document to a Directory (or if you are using a
version earlier than Word XP, it is called Category) type document. Then insert the merge fields into the cells of a table in that document. Do not have anything before or after the table other than the empty paragraph mark that must follow a table. When you execute that merge to a new document, that document will contain a table containing rows of data for each record in the data source. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
