Anyone know what { DATA } fields are?
Hello All,
Does anybody know if any version of Word has or had a DATA field (not DATABASE or DATE)? One of our clients has some templates which were converted from RTF files and some of them have one of these fields in them - e.g. { DATA c:\\SomeFolder\\SomeDocument.doc }. We don't know exactly what version of what application originally produced the RTF files. Just curious to know what they are. Thanks. Ed |

It was the field type used to specify a mail merge data source in earlier
versions of Word. I think Word 6 was probably the first with the new method. At one time, I /think/ when you opened a .doc with a { DATA } field, Word would convert it into a connection, but maybe not any more. Peter Jamieson "Ed" wrote in message ...
