Using mail merge date fields in headers
I'm trying to put a mail merge date field in the header of my word document
but it doesn't show up at all when I do the mail merge. If I put the field in the body of my document, it works fine. The date field is coming directly from my data source which is an excel spreadsheet. Any ideas? Thanks -- Tina |

Using mail merge date fields in headers
Works fine in the header here. What do you see in the header of the mail
merge main document if you press Alt+F9? -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Using mail merge date fields in headers
When I press Alt+F9 I see: {MERGEFIELD "MailingDate"}
When I merge the data to the document, the date doesn't show up in the header. I don't know if the two are related, but I have Page numbers in the header that I inserted as auto text and these fields update correctly when the data is merged. Am I doing something wrong?

Such an arrangement works fine here. Send me a copy of the main document if
you like and I will have a look at it. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Using mail merge date fields in headers
I just realized that for some reason, the merged date doesn't show up on my
monitor but if I look at the merged document in print preview, the date is there and it's correctly formatted. How odd! At any rate, that you for your availability. I know I can always count on the knowledgeboard! :-) -- Tina "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: Such an arrangement works fine here.
