Hi,
I'm trying to do a simple letter mail merge. I'd like to include courtesy title, middle name and suffix in the name line, and for the greeting I'd like to have Dear and then the last name. These options appear in the dialogue boxes, and all that info is filled in my contact list from which I'm generating this merge. However, for some reason the address block function is only reading first and last name, so even if I select "Joshua Q. Randall Jr.", I only get Joshua Randall. When I click the "match fields", I am not offered an option for the courtesy title, and the middle name and suffix are "(not matched)" and unavailble. Similarly for the greeting line, I am only able to generate "Dear Joshua Randall" instead of "Dear Mr. Randall," If I click on the Insert Merge Field button there are two choices: Address Fields and Data Base Fields. The Address Fields option has all the info, but the Data Base option only has those fields I am getting when I click the Address Block button. I don't see a way to make the Address Block button read all the fields from the Address Fields option button. I hope I'm being clear with all of this. I'd like to click on Address Block and Greeting Line, and have the choices for all the fields. I'd rather not construct these field by field. Thanks in advance for your help... it seems like setting up the merge should be easy, but this is quite confusing. Barnet |
