View source file greyed out when doing mail merge!
Creating an ad hoc query in SAP and opting for Word Processing, results in
the creation of a file named WORDFOLE. With Word 2000 I am able to edit the source file in a spread sheet format (the data is in caps and needs to be converted to title case); with Word 2003, the view source file option is greyed out. Help! No way can I edit each letter individually!! |

There are two things that you can do:
From the Tools menu, select Customize and then on the Commands tab of the Customize dialog, select the All Commands category and then scroll down through the list of commands until you come across the Mail Merge Helper item. Click and drag it onto the toolbar. That will allow you to use the old interface to mailmerge (as in 2000). Alternatively, create a Directory type mailmerge main document based on the same datasource in which you have the merge fields in the cells of a one row table in the document. Execute that merge to a new document and you will get a table containing the data. Insert a row at the top of the table into the cells of which you enter mergefield names and then edit the data as required before saving the file and then using it as the data source for the merge that you originally wanted to create. -- Hope this helps.
