Word 2003 Envelopes and Labels fails to insert address into envelo
I have used the Outlook 2003 contacts and/or address book entries to address and then print individual envelopes in Word 2003 via "Tools>Letters and Mailings>Envelopes and Labels..." for years. Just recently this technique fails to actually insert the desired address into an "envelope." Up until the moment that I click on the desired address within the "Contacts" file (while both...

Import from Access 2007 Query
When I try to do a mail merge using an Access 2007 Query that contains parameters, the import fails. I get a dialogue box in word (2007) titled "ODBC Microsoft Access Driver Login Failed" with the information "Could not find file 'blah, blah, blah.mdb' contained in the body of the dialogue box. The file referenced in the dialogue box IS NOT the database I'm pulling the data from. I migr...

Can merge fields be locked?
I created three merge forms - all linked to the same data source - that our people have been using full-time for the past week. At least once each day this week I've had to "correct" their forms. One of the reasons has been that they inadvertently type over a field after forgetting to put that field's information in the data source file. Is there any way to "lock" the merge fields so t...

MS Access Database via DDE Not connecting
I have a problem somewhat different from that posted by Laura on June 12, 2007. A friend of mine (systems engineer) created a complex database for me to use in my business using Access 2000 with documents created in Word 2000. Very complex queries refine the data for individual legal documents created in Word. We have two front end databases with one data container, the latter being in a...

Next Record If Question (Word 2003)
It is my understanding that inserting the Next Record If statement in a mail merge would allow me to only merge records that meet the criteia I set . I do not seem to be able to make this work. (Next Record If = Chicago should only return records with Chicago in the city field) I can use the Skip Record If command to restrict merged records to whatever criteria I choose. I am using t...

AddressLayout not working
In Word 2007, I have a Quick Parts entry defined for AddressLayout, just like I've been using for years in Word 2003. However, the Insert Address function from Outlook contacts, to insert a single address into a Word document, does not follow this format until after I insert the AddressLayout quick part into the document then delete it. Until I do that extra step, I only get the defaul...

mail merge does not print where it should
I bought a new printer today - a HP c4280. I need to print invitations and my old ink jet couldn't deal with the paper. Anyway - the mail merge looks perfect in Word (2003). But it prints near the top of the envelope, instead of in the center where I have it. I think the merge is correct because I tried it in my older ink jet and also a laser printer - even though the quality ...

URGENT:Is it possible to replace data character with another chara

I've looked all through the Help file, knowledge base and discussion groups and haven't found the right combination of words to find anything useful... even if it's to say that what I want isn't possible.)

Word 2007, label mailmerge alignment
When I use the mailmerge for labels in Word 2007 the default format for the labels is "Normal" with double spaced lines in the addresses. This causes some addresses to be cut off, unless I decrease the font down to 9, which is too small. If I "select all", and then choose "Normal, no spacing" the addresses jump up to the left corner in each label. This causes problems with alignment ...

Mail Merge: If ... then ... else
I understand that I can use this function to check a field in my merge data, and insert one or another text string into my Word document. What I'd like to do is use a field in my merge data to direct which of two merge fields to print. Is there a way to implement something like: If [FIELD1] is Empty then [FIELD2] else [FIELD3] ?...
