1. Opening merged document
When opening a merged document with macros enabled, I do not get the merged data. I must first select merge to a new document before data is merged. However, for other users machine when they open the merged document it automactically mergers and contains the merged data, in this case, there is no need to select merged to a new document. We are using the same Word 2000 document so why is the macro being disabled for some and for other it is enabled automactically. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, CVW
2. merging with access database
I have a form document in Word that I am tyrying to merge with an Access database. In Access, I have a state field with a ">" in the format properties box so that all the two-letter abbreviations are capitalized. When I merge the two together, the states come out lowercase though they appear uppercase in the table because of the properties setting. Why does this happen and how can I changee it without going back and retyping all of the states in uppercase Thanks WEND
3. MergeField Limits in tables?
I have a template with a table set up with two columns and multiple rows, and a merge field in each resulting cell. This all works OK when the merge field content is fairly short, (e.g.: "this is short") but not so good when fields get longer, (e.g.: "This is a lengthy description of something else.") The merge fails only when a couple of the merge fields have longer content AND a table is involved. With only one longer field the merge completes just fine and when no tables are involved it seems to be OK. With several long merge fields in a table I get an error message that says: "Data fields must be separated from each other by a character called a field delimiter. Similarly, data records must be separated by a record delimiter..." The data source is a text file that gets created on the fly using comma delimited text (e.g.: "field1","field2","field3") pulled from a third-party application. Any ideas on the cause and/or the solution to this? Thanks! - Bob
4. Database field merge to a link table in Oracle
When I do a mail merge in an Access table using DATABASE field, everything works fine. But when I try to merge to a link table in Oracle I got the following error: "Word was unable to open the data source" Can someone tell me if I can do this? I'm using WORD 97. Thanks, Bao

Mail merge images don't show up

When I mail merge in Word 2003, my images show up as a black box.  I have 
tried using jpg and tif images, but I can't seem to make the images come out 
properly in the merged document.

Have you tried updating the fields in the document?

See the "Graphics from data base" item under the "Special merges" section of

1.Some addresses don't show on Word mail merge labels using Contacts

We are using Windows XP and Office XP - Outlook 2002 and 
Word 2002

When one of my users performs a mail merge to create 
labels in Word and chooses to use her Outlook Contacts, 
about 20% of the labels don't show business addresses 
even though the business addresses are listed in the 
Contact item with the "This is the mailing address" box 
checked.  The labels only show the name and company, but 
no business address.

2.I don't want blank rows to show in mail merge tables

Hi, I'm creating a table through mail merge, but some of the rows have a zero 
value.  How do I get those rows to not appear at all.  Currently, I get a 
return so the table is disjointed ?

Thanks

3.addresses don't show up after mail merge

I am trying to create labels using the mail merge.  I want to use the EXCEL 
doc that has all the addresses on it that I want to use.  The merge seems to 
go o.k. but my recipients never show up, I can't see them...
Any help would be great.

4.Recent Access Queries Don't Show Up for Mail Merge

I'm trying to connect a datasource for a Mail Merge document in Word
2002.  I created a query in Access with the info I needed, but when I
get the list of available sources when running through the connection
process, none of my new/recent queries are showing up.  An old query
showed up, so I altered it to contain the info necessary for the mail
merge, and then THAT ONE stopped showing up in the list as well!

I'm not doing this by code or anything, just the usual Mail Merge
functionality on the toolbar.

Has anyone ever heard of this? I've never seen this happen before!  I
don't even know if it's a Word problem or an Access problem, but I've
been searching the net for a couple of hours now looking for a
solution!  Should I just wait until tomorrow when it's no longer a
"new" query? heheheh

5.an image mail merge quirk (but not how do you merge images)

Let me begin by saying I can merge images.
Got the include picture, select all, F9.
check

My problem is the behavior of the images once they are in word.  the
images print fine, and appear perfectly on the computer where the
document was generated, but that doesn't help when others need to use
it. For example, I need to take the new word document and email it to
someone else, or burn it on a disc, and then must move the images to
the new disc (or a public drive, or whatever) and update the include
picture field.

I have considered printing it to pdf, but then most people loose
ability to edit the document. I know I could manually go through the
document and copy each image, then paste special, as "gif", and then
reformat. but that gets old fast.

Can anyone explain how I might copy and paste all the images as gifs?
I tried the macro recorder but it wouldn't allow me to change certain
things.

Can I do this with VBA? 

Any help would be wonderful.

thanks
anne
