Three of the text boxes have common information, but the fourth will hold the recipient addresses. I start the mail merge in Word 2007 and choose "letter" as the document form. I follow all of the steps. My list is linked to the word file because I...

How do I merge to a table in Word - w/o every row a new page?
I am trying to merge date from an Excel spreadsheet to a table in Word. The Word table is set up with a header row as the first row (column headings - not merged) and the merge fields are in the second row. When I complete the merge, each row is on a new page, and I want just one table on one page. I tried setting it up as a Directory and this solved some of my issues, but the header ...

My problem is that I now want to enter a new name from cell (A1 – this time Brown) and have it saved in the new cell C2 without changing the Jones name in C1, but of cour...

Mail merge with Word 2003 and SQL 2005 on a date and time field.
I'm trying to do a mail merge from Word 2003 and MS SQL Server 2005. Previously I used Word 2003 and Access 2003 but I have since migrated the data to SQL and still use Access as a front end for this app. The app used to call a Word 2003 document through a hyperlink and run a query to pull all records. The user would then select Mail Merge Recipients and narrow the query down to just the da...
