Re: mailmerge new page

I always did use a database field.
in word it shows {mergefield "adres"}
and this "adres" is a field from my database table.
Is there a different behaviour when connecting
to a database or eg. excel ?

It is possible that you used a DATABASE field in your mail merge main
document.

Doug Robbins,

I've made a table with 9 columns and 22 rows
this fits apx. on one landscaped page.
with 2 lines of text on top and bottom of it.
But the data is sometimes more then 22 records
can even be 100 or more.
One of my experimenting versions of the doc
added all necessary rows and I'm quit sure
it was something by default or maybe some
property setting.
At least it must have been easy because
it was one of my very first mailmerge attempts.

regards
christophe

I tried the Catalog,
but it doesn't do the trick.

euh,

I changed that setting to something else
because with a catalog type doc
MsWord tells me I can't do mailmerge to email ?

Any advice ?

Maybe you did it with a catalog (or in Word XP and later it is called
directory) type mailmerge main document.

Hi,

I've made a mailmerge multi column doc
and a table (foxpro) where all data is stored.
Mailmerge does work but some data doesn't fit
onto one page so I would like to add more rows
when necessary.

I got it working once but I don't know how.
Can somebody tell me how I did this ...?

thanks in advance
regards
christophe
