In Word 2007, how do I import using DDE to preserve formatting?
In exactly the same way as in earlier versions. From the Tools menu in Word,
select Options and then go to the General tab and check the box against the "Confirm conversions at open" item. (In Word 2007 it is Office Button Word Options Advanced General Confirm file format conversion on open). Then when you attach the data source to the mail merge main document, you will be given the option of using the DDE method of connection which should read the data as you have it formatted in the table. Note that DDE can be unreliable - it is frequently better to use the default connection and format the field using switches. http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |
