Mail Merge Auto Selecting Recipients
Very weird and totally frustrating. I have a mailmerge document (MS Word) in
table form, that consistently automatically selects a bunch of records in the input file (recipients) - mostly near the top of the file there were not selected. (Clear all, select wanted records, get list - contains records not selected). Try to reselect and uncheck the items, and they get checked all over again. What can be going on that is causing records to get selected? -- Olive Oil Importer |

Mail Merge Auto Selecting Recipients
Behaves the same on two networked computers, one with Word 2002 on XP and the
other with Word 2007 on Vista. Data source is an Excel spreadsheet. This has been working for a long time and only recently started exhibiting this behavior. I did make some code changes in the Word file but tested an older version and it is doing the same thing? -- Olive Oil Importer "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: What version of Word and what is the data source? -- Hope this helps.

Mail Merge Auto Selecting Recipients
I cannot explain it. If you want to send me a copy of the mail merge main
document and the spreadsheet, I will take a look at it. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Mail Merge Auto Selecting Recipients
Hi Doug
I'll send them to you. I am leaving for a 2 wk Italy trip in the AM, so if you get something this evening great. But if you send something after this evening I don't want you to think I have ignored you. I'll pick it up when I get back - I DO NEED to fix this.
