Create a list from an excel table
I think I use exactly the step by step Mail merge wizard, in order to make a
list from an Excel table, using the following fields: {QUOTE {IF{MERGESEQ}="1" {SET Place ""}} "{IF{MERGEFIELD City} {Place} "{IF{MERGESEQ}= "1" "" " "}{MERGEFIELD City}{SET Place {MERGEFIELD City}} "}{MERGEFIELD Company} {MERGEFIELD Debt} "} From the above I hope to get a list like this: City 1 Company1 its debt Company2 its debt City 2 Company3 its debt City 3 Company4 its debt Company5 its debt Company6 its debt .... etc ... However, at the end I get the company and its debt each in a different page like: City 1 Company1 its debt page break City 1 Company2 its debt page break .... etc ... What I'm doing wrong? -- geotso ---- ---- --- -- -- - - Please, remove hyphens to contact me ---- ---- --- -- -- - - |

Create a list from an excel table
heh
I was using the wrong document type! As for the rest: 1, I can't use the add-in because I'm writing a tutorial for Word features and that is not among them. However I can add a note about it, and its owner, assuming I have his permission. 2. When I first read (and followed) the instructions under KB294686 article, was only applicable if the source document was a text file and not an Excel table. So I didn't test it again to see if they have corrected it. 3. I've downloaded your zip archive and I give it a try right now Thanks for all info "Graham Mayor" wrote: Set the merge document type to Directory/Catalog - MVP Doug Robbins has developed an add-in to effect this type of merge.

I said "I can't use the add-in because I'm writing a tutorial for Word features and that is not among them" and I meant "...is not among them with Word's default installation" |
