Getting Read or Delivery Receipts When Merging from Word to Outloo
We are currently using a third-party mass e-mailing program to contact our exhibitors to remind them of deadlines, etc. It does a good job of tracking, but we have a problem with the mail program saying they are delivered, but the exhibitors saying they never got them.

Query a merge document
I am using Word 2003. I created a merge file to print file labels. Of course I have several hundred records in the file.

In order to try to sort records, I want to be able to put a check or "yes" in the year field for the records I want to print that year. Because we may not want to print all of th...

Mailmerge Toolbar Find Entry
Hello, We merge Access data into Word 2003 documents a lot. The Find Entry box used to "remember" the last field used in the "Look in: This Field:" box. For some reason it now seems to show a random field. Since we most often search for the correct record by using the same identifying field, we would like to go back to having the Find Entry box remember the last field used. Any su...

Directory - Can a field be limited by size or number of characters
I'm creating a glossary, merging from Excel into Word 2002. The merge itself is fine, but cuts off the definition if it's too long - the final merged document will only give me about 4 1/2 lines total. Example: Accident and health plan: An employer-provided plan giving employee fringe benefits through the payment of health and accident insurance premiums or employer funded medical reimb...

My mail merge for labels will only update the first 3 labels
When using 2007 mail merge for labels I follow the wizard and insert the address block, but when I go and hit update all it only shows the first 3 labels on the page, and the last 2. The labels seem to be updated, as multiple pages show up and the recipients at the end of my data source correspond to the last labels on the last page, but there must be a gap somewhere from being merged to...
