Mail merge doc with fill-in field code
My customer has a Mail Merge Word doc with 4 fill-in field codes. When the
document is merged together and presented, there are no toolbars and I cannot figure out how to make them appear. Mail merge docs with no fill-in fields present fine. |

Mail merge doc with fill-in field code
Reports (e.g. by Ed, a contributor to this group) suggest that this can
occur when a. the merge is automated (e.g., run from an Access application) b. Word is not visible before the merge starts Ed's suggestion was that the automation code should a. make the Word application visible (this actually helps fix a slightly different problem) b. activate the Word application c. do the merge d. activate the Word application (or perhaps document - I'm not sure) Peter Jamieson "xj6jj" wrote in message ...

Thank you! Your description of when this can occur describes my process
exactly, so I will try the recommended suggestions.
