matching fields
Using Word 2007 to mail merge with a Works database. Using the Wrd address
block I can get all the field needed to match except the postal code. I know how to manua match it. I want word to always reference that datatbase & is does so as long as I keep Word open. When I close & reopen Word, it does not remember the match. I check the box at the bottom but still get the same results. How do i get mail merge to always match the fields I want? |

Frankly I am surprised this works at all. Historically Word has only been
compatible with Works as a mail merge data source when used with the dreadful Works Add-in for Word. I would not have expected that to be compatible with Word 2007 (though I could be mistaken). The more reliable solution would be to export the Works database to a format that Word can handle and to save it in the Data Sources folder (or the folder that contains the merge document) where Word should find it without problem. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org DHM wrote: Using Word 2007 to mail merge with a Works database.
