Mail Merge Word 2007 from Outlook 2007
I created a master main document in word with field from my Outlook fields so
we don't have to recreate the label main document every time. It seems buggy, sometime the mail merge works fine, other times I get a message saying there is already merged info, do I want to remove? So I say yes, but the mail merge feature becomes greyed out. It also looks like multiple sessions of Word have opened. I did start from Outlook not Word. Please help, this seems it should be a very simple mail merge. -- Thanks for the help |

Mail Merge Word 2007 from Outlook 2007
What happens if you say NO.
However, having set up the main document with the data source having been attached to it, all you should need to do is open that document in Word and execute the merge again. See the "Mailmerge from Outlook" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at: http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm -- Hope this helps.

I'll try saying no and see what happens. Could this have anything to do with
our saving everything in compatibility mode or installation issues? -- Thanks for the help "tinks" wrote: I created a master main document in word with field from my Outlook fields so we don't have to recreate the label main document every time.

I have posted many times, but with no answer.Doug, thank you for the pointer to the MS article - this FINALLY fixed the SQL prompt issue - thank you! I still have the issue of Word opening 2 documents, but much happier now without that pesky SQL prompt - that has been really annoying!! So thanks Doug! :-) |
