MERGE "ONLINE FORM" WITH TEXT BOX
I have created a user form that will be used by employee's to update their
home addresses, emergency contact information, etc. I have extracted data from PeopleSoft into an excel spreadsheet. I would like to populate fields that contain "current" information with data from excel. I would then like the users to use the form to make changes in the "New" information sections. Populating is not a problem. I cannot retain the "form" functionality. Is there a work around? Using MS word 2003. |

MERGE "ONLINE FORM" WITH TEXT BOX
Formfields cannot be used in conjunction with mailmerge. Why don't you just
provide a table at the end of the maindocument into which each recipient can enter any updated information. -- Hope this helps.
