Searching for specific data in specific column
I have a document containing all my data. Theres about 5 columns. One
column is named €śPlan€ť and another named €śCCs€ť. I made a main document and inserted the field €śPlan€ť. I would like to find all the Plans (in the €śPlan€ť column) that have the name €śSmith€ť in the €śCCs€ť column. I tried clicking €śFind Entry€ť on the mail merge toolbar and typing the name €śSmith€ť and selecting the €śCCs€ť column, while I am in the main document with the field €śPlan€ť. But I get a message that tells me €śThe search item was not found.€ť It is definitely there. Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks. ll |

Searching for specific data in specific column
Word is not really meant to do this. This is database functionality (provided
by e.g. Access), but it can also be done with a spreadsheet like Excel. Try one of those programs to hold your data and perform searches on it. -- Ted |
