Mail merge fields in a text box Maki 10/9/2008 3:45:00 AM Hi Is there a way to create mail merge fields in a text box? I have custom-made letterhead where a graphic covers the whole sheet and the actual space for letter body is confined in a text box. If impossible, any suggestions to get around the situation? -- Maki [ at ] Canberra.AU

Set the graphic's layout property to 'behind text' -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Maki wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hi > > Is there a way to create mail merge fields in a text box? > > I have custom-made letterhead where a graphic covers the whole sheet > and the actual space for letter body is confined in a text box. > > If impossible, any suggestions to get around the situation?

Re: Mail merge fields in a text box Maki 10/9/2008 6:22:01 AM I had the graphic's layout set to "behind text" and still hadn't realised that I could type on the main page, without using text box! How embarrassing! Thanks, Graham, for the response. Much appreciated. -- Maki [ at ] Canberra.AU "Graham Mayor" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Use a frame or a table cell instead - or even set the margins and indents > correctly so that the text can be typed on the main page.

RE: Mail merge fields in a text box JL 12/18/2008 6:39:01 PM Yes, just change the layout of the text box that it should be relative to the page.
