Re: Help with merging 1 address to many files

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The last solution will not work. I see that maybe the initial question was
not worded in a way that best described the problem. Your solution was good
for a change of one field but when we need to change a document(s) that has
many fields that need data updated your solution though it will work is not
efficient.

Let me state the problem again. We have lets say 5 (though the number is
much larger) different contracts that require the same piece of data placed
on each of them. This data may consist of a name, address, date, number of
stores and other information. The information will be the same for each
contract. We would like to use mailmerge or some thing like mailmerge to
perform this task. Some way that will allow us to automate the process and
be able to run it once when we need to update a contracts. The documents
(contracts) will be in a word format.
