document covers
I need to create covers for documents in MSWord and I would like to use Merge
to do this. I have made a template that has blank spaces to insert date, names, venue and other details which have to be typed individually on each cover. I cannot take these details from a database as every cover will have once-off details to be inserted. I want to be able to press a key that will move to the next field as I insert each detail. Can anyone help me as to how to do this please? |

document covers
You can do this with a protected form (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to) or using MacroButton fields (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...croButton.htm). The latter option is more suitable if you need to be able to edit the remainder of the document; you can advance from one field to the next using F11. -- Suzanne S.

I am so sorry, I did not see this response and could not find it when I
searched so I posted this question again today. Please ignore my repeated question. "Suzanne S.
