Mailmerge with Excel
I have Word and Excel 2003. When I merge a document in Word with an excel
spreadsheet, not all of the data comes back into Word, which means that I end up cutting and pasting information, where mailmerge should have done it all in one move. What am I doing wrong? |

Mailmerge with Excel
The data in the Excel spreadsheet is text comments from a variety of surveys.
Some of the fields come through into Word with only part of the text that has been entered (ie it ends part way through the sentence). There is no pattern to this (ie it's not just the cells with a lot of text, it can also be cells with only a few sentences).

Mailmerge with Excel
From the Tools menu in Word, select Options and then go to the General tab
and check the box against the "Confirm conversions at open" item. Then when you attach the data source to the mail merge main document, you will be given the option of using the DDE method of connection which should read the data as you have it formatted in the table. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org carrie wrote: The data in the Excel spreadsheet is text comments from a variety of surveys.
