Word merge
how would you manage this: have data fields (#s, $, text, some calculations)
to appear in a Word contract document and a Word invoice. Should one populate the other or a separate document to populate both? Is this best use of a merge or is there something else that would accomplish the same in a less cumbersome way? -- Kacey |

Word merge
Probably a database application would be more suited to this as it sounds
like you are probably trying to perform a "multiple items per condition (=key field)" mailmerge which Word does not really have the ability to do: See the "Group Multiple items for a single condition" item on fellow MVP Cindy Meister's website at http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindy...faq1.htm#DBPic Or take a look at the following Knowledge Base Article http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;211303 or http://cornell.veplan.net/article.aspx?&a=3815 For the number and currency formatting issues, see "Formatting Word fields with switches" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at : http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
