Mailmerge and forms
I have created a form letter with form fields and merge fields. When I
protect the form I am unable to edit form fields once the merge completes. The information is merging from AMS360 software. If I open the template in Word we can use the form perfectly without merging the information. Any suggestions? We would like to use the merged document to send out, but only have form fields editable. |

Mailmerge and protected form fields are mutually exclusive - as you have
discovered. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org EB21 wrote: I have created a form letter with form fields and merge fields.

You will need to use VBA to create a "roll-your-own" substitute for mail
merge to accomplish this. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
