Change a name (from a list in a txt file) on a document, then print it. "Julius Mong" <jxm96c[ at ]hotmail.com> 06.02.2006 09:24:12 Dear all, I am new to word scripting and am wondering if there is a quick way to change in a document say the name on a certificate and print it? I have a text file of the names that are to go 1 by 1 on to the cert for printing, and I'm rather confused by examples found via google... I suppose I need to put a field at the place where the name should go and have a macro / script replace that each time with an entry from the txt file and print the doc? Has anyone got some code that'd do similar? Any help would be much appreciated and thanks in advance! Julius
