Merging from Word to Entourage - Missing Mail Icon in System Preferences
by vexedgirl » Fri, 02 Dec 2005 11:45:44 GMT
Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me figure this out.
When trying to create merge documents in word, I want to merge to email
rather than to my printer. I went to Word help and it said to activate
this I needed to go to the apple, hit system preferences and then
choose the email icon in the system preferences (under internet &
network). No such icon on any of my computers -- I've looked at MS
help and can't find anything telling me why this is happening and how
to make icon appear and also no information through Apple help. So, how
do I get the mail icon to appear so I can follow the directions MS has
in help --- or, is there another way to create merges? I have list in
Excel and want to send personal notes (Dear so and so, etc) to each
individual email.
Thanks!

I'm running OS 10.2.6 on a dual 1 GHz G4. My International preference panel
has disappeared. Not something that is needed often by most - I must use it
frequently due to a program that, strangely, requires me to click on the
American flag to access it (Grammarian Pro X) sometimes. Any ideas on how to
fix this? - Thanks
3.Entourage categories missing in Word mail merge.
Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: pop
I am trying to do a mail merge using the Entourage address book but some categories are missing. I set up the document and date source, when I try to "Filter Recipients" I try and select categories. For some reason there are about 10-12 "blank" categories. And then the categories I created. However I just created a new one called "Prospects" and it is not showing up for me to select it. It is in Entourage, but not showing up in Word. I closed both programs and reopened them and the new category is still available to select.
4.Word Mail Merge - Missing Excel Converter for xlsx files
Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel
When I try to connect a mail merge document in Word 2008 with an Excel 2008 file in xlsx format, an error message appears saying that the system cannot find the requested converter.
If I save the same Excel spreadsheet in the old xls format, it works properly.
Where can I get the missing converter the system is asking for?

5.Mail Merge with Word 2003 - editing fields in Mail Merge Document
Please Help if you can. I have lost hours editing a Mail Merge Master
document, only to find none of the changes are saved when you reopen. Here's
what happened: I want to edit the fields in a mail merge document. I want
to search for the {OLD-FIELD} and replace it with the {NEW FIELD}. Word does
not seem to allow me to do this. First, it will not let me cut and paste the
fields into the Search & Replace Box. Secondlly, after hours of laboriously
replacing my Fields one at a time, and dutifully saving, NONE of the changes
were saved. The changes are all shown in the document while I'm editing it.
Then I save & close the edited document. When I re-open it it reverts to the
original. None of the changes have been saved! I have tested this a number
of times. It is not my error or my imagination. For some reason the Mail
Merge document does not save changes to the Fields. FYI, The document is NOT
protected either. Any thoughts? Thank you.
