Maintaining cell size after merge
I have Word 2003. I have set up a table to merge with a data program. All
works well except for a few cells that add an extra line - putting the text on the next line after the merge. I took off auto resize, auto fit and made them fixed column width and it is still happening. Any suggestions? |

Maintaining cell size after merge
took off auto resize, auto fit and made
them fixed column width and it is still happening. Any suggestions? Word will, I think, try to fit the text into the column. Maybe you need to fix the /row height/ of the table cell, as well as everything else you are already doing.

It works OK here. Try...
....in your Mail Merge Main document, a. select the table row containing your merge fields b. select Table-Table Properties-Row-Specify Height c. ensure that you specify "Exactly" in the "exact/ measuement in the "Row Height Is" drop down. -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Nancy" wrote in message ...
