Customised margins with mail merge
Hi
Does anyone know of way of always forcing text to wrap around part of a page when performing a mail merge? Someone has foolishly decided to move the address on our headed notepaper to the bottom right hand corner of the page. I need to modify our mailing templates, so that text wraps around it. My initial thought was that all was required was to add a blank image placeholder into the template, anchor it in the right position and set text to wrap around it. This works well enough when manually creating a document. However, when mail-merging one of two things happens. Either the merged text continues over the placeholder or, word moves the placeholder onto the second page of the document. No amount of playing with the picture position and text wrapping options on the advanced layout dialogue seems to have the desired effect. Basically what I'm after is a margin layout which forces text into the shape below: xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx Many thanks Ian |

Customised margins with mail merge

a. opening the footer b. with the insertion point in the footer, inserting a text box c. locating and formatting the text box more or less the way you described?
