Is there a way I can turn this off? Have checked the Tools, Options and ca...

SWF in mail merge
Well, I did a mail merge with photos by using the 'includepicture' field with the 'if' field inside. I'd like to do a mail merge with swf (if <<field>> = "Test" X Y) where on X and Y I would put two Flash ActiveX objects, but when I merge to a file, the flash object (or the result of the whole if field) becomes a static picture. Why does it happen? Resuming, I'd like to do ...

Support "Categories" (Outlook Contacts) in a Word Mail Merge.
Hi Guys, When your mail merge data source is "Outlook Contacts" how can you choose the "Category" field, as your merge criteria? My 600 Outlook contacts are all categorized. But as far as I can see, there is no way in Word to perform a Outlook contacts merge with the condition based upon the Outlook contact's category. My work around is to start in Outlook, highlight the contacts I...

Suppress error messages when merging in batch
We do merge in Word through a batch job. This is fine unless there is an error, for example one of the records in the data file is incomplete. Then the merge hangs. If such a merge were run online the user would see the error message and acknowledge it, but in batch mode there is no way to acknowledge it. Is there any way to avoid the hanging and instead have Word exit and return an error...
