Hi All,

When I prepare a MailMerge in Word97 and record a macro
during such preparing I can get a VBA code in the Visual
Basic Editor for the whole preparation. Then I can save
it as a .bas file.
The question is : if I have already done MailMerge files
(with ... ), is there any method to get the VBA code
automatically, i.e. without repeating the process of
recording a macro?
I can use a newer version of MS Word.

Please tell me how to do it if you know.

Hi User,

The ... fields indicate that the mailmerge was done in the conventional way, via the creation/insertion of mailmerge fields, for
which vba is unnecessary. Although you could use vba to create/insert the fields, there is no vba code to get from them. If you want
to see the field coding, you can toggle it on/off via Alt-F9.

Cheers
