Mail merge, how can I set dif. case for address block &greeting
In Microsoft 2003 mail merge, I would like to write the address block in
upper case, ie..MR & MRS SMITH and the greeting with regular letter script ie..Mr. & Mrs. Smith. I will be using window envelopes, so the address block will need to be in caps. I appreciate any help. Thanks, |

Don't use the addressblock. Use the individual fields.
Depending on which case the addresses are saved in you can use a formatting switch to apply the required case http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm Why does the address have to be in upper case for window envelopes? Upper case is harder to read. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org RetiredRose wrote: In Microsoft 2003 mail merge, I would like to write the address block in upper case, ie..MR & MRS SMITH and the greeting with regular letter script ie..Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

If your ADDRESSBLOCK works OK, you should be able to use the character
format switch \*Upper, e.g. use Alt-F9 to display field codes. Your Addressblock field will look something roughly like the following (mine's obviously intended for use in the U.K.): { ADDRESSBLOCK \f "_TITLE0_ _FIRST0_ _LAST0_ _SUFFIX0_ _COMPANY_, _STREET1_ _STREET2_ _CITY_ _STATE_ _POSTAL_ _COUNTRY_" \l 2057 \c 2 \e "United Kingdom" \d } then type \*Upper before the }, giving you { ADDRESSBLOCK \f "_TITLE0_ _FIRST0_ _LAST0_ _SUFFIX0_ _COMPANY_, _STREET1_ _STREET2_ _CITY_ _STATE_ _POSTAL_ _COUNTRY_" \l 2057 \c 2 \e "United Kingdom" \d \*Upper } But I have the same question as Graham - do you really need to use uppercase? If it's a requirement of your postal service, that would be useful to know. Peter Jamieson "RetiredRose" wrote in message ...

Mail merge, how can I set dif. case for address block &greetin
Good question Mr. Mayor, address in caps is a careover from work. In mailing
correspondences, we were instructed to use caps, no punctuation. It is time to change. Thanks for the info and question. RetiredRose "Graham Mayor" wrote: Don't use the addressblock.
