Happy New Year to all,

I was hoping someone could start me on my journey of
understanding Word programming with a pointer on where to
start with the following:

I can generate a document using mail merge with Word 2003
with fields for the addresses and cc addressee, i.e.:

Dr. A Smith
12 Medical Way,
Get betterville.

Dear Dr. Smith,

Your patient will live.

cc: Dr. B. Jones
14 Medical Way

Hi Anthony,

I am not really sure what your question is, but maybe the article "How to
create a Userform" at:

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm

will give you the starting point that you are after.

--
Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps

Thanks for attempting to answer an incomprehensible post ! I had not
finished it and did not think it had made it to the group - so thanks
for even trying.

My problem that I was trying to solve was for a client who wants to
generate a medical letter such as the above and then create, simply, an
identical copy with the cc: doctor becoming the Adressee, i.e.:

Dr. B Jones
14 Medical Way,


Dear Dr. Smith,

Your patient will live.


The above occurs when a primary care physician refers a patient to a
specialist who orders a diagnostic test. The company supplying the
test sends a result letter back to both the specalist and the primary
care physician. That one letter is required to be addressed
individually to each of the doctors concerned. I was wondering how
others had handled such situations in word. We want to automate this
for the client with all corespondence based on a template that will
allow switching between the supplied doctors names. All fields are
supplied in a "mail merge" at document creation time and the data is
sourced from a database.

Thanks for your time,


Anthony.
