Endless 'Mail Merge' entries under Tools drop-down
This followed me when I transferred files from an old to a new computer. It's like a bad odor you can't get away from! Before I used IntelliMover to get the files over, the new computer's Word app was normal. Now (like on my old computer) when I go to Tools drop-down, there's an amazingly long string of 'Mail Merge' entries. I don't think it is really causing any problems, but who kn...

I have a macro that merges data from a worksheet onto a document and then to the printer. Instead of going to the printer, it now needs to be emailed.

Merging and speed
In the past I used Crystal reports to create a mailing and then delivered pdf output to my customer. It works okay, but I thought I could take myself out of the picture if I setup a Word merge for them to run instead. The problem is that the Word merge is increbibly slow and locks up my pc for about 15-20 minutes. My pc is a Pentium(R) 4 cpu, 2.80 GHz, 2.79 GHz with1 GB RAM. If that ha...

How do I format mail merge fields?
I am using Excel & Word 2003. I have tried to format the merge fields in my document without success. For example, I want the date to read 1 December 2007.

Create New Recipient List: Form vs. Grid
Good morning - We recently upgraded our office to Office 2007. So far, so good - but for one thing. We use mail merge for a number of customer letters. In previous versions of Word, we could tell it we wanted to create a new list of recipients, and it would display a data form displaying all the data fields that needed to be filled in for that particular letter. With the new version, it de...
