Mail merge and catagory lists
I have followed this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294686/ to the
letter. I have re-created their example with an Excel spreadsheet and have used my own. In either case I cannot get the result to sort the data with a heading and sub information. Each record continues to show up on its own page (without the use of a forced page break). The code, straight out of the KB article: {IF {MERGESEQ} = "1" " {MERGEFIELD CITY} " ""}{SET PLACE1{MERGEFIELD CITY}} {IF {PLACE2} {PLACE1} {MERGEFIELD CITY} {MERGEFIELD EMPLOYEE}{MERGEFIELD SALES}""{MERGEFIELD CITY}{MERGEFIELD SALES}"}{SET PLACE2{MERGEFIELD CITY}} I can toggle through the code and all looks like it is working, just not listing the information in the pages as it ought to. I am using this in a more complex project but if I can't get the basic stuff to display correctly .... I am using Word and Excel 2007 for this. |
