"Headers & Footers" and Mail Merge

Hi Guys,

I'm using Words2000 with an excel data source.

I am working on a report with the document in landscape and two columns.

Is there a way to use Merge and Word Fields and in the Headers and Footers?

Thanks,

Craig

Just open the header and footer pane in the mail merge main document and
insert the desired Merge and Word Fields in the required locations.

If you're referring to the problem where { MERGEFIELD } fields end up as
fieldname in the output when you merge, there's a logical problem if
you are displaying the results of more than one record on the page.

You either have to use something like

{ SET myfield { MERGEFIELD fieldname } } in the body of the document and {
REF myfield } in the header/footer, or you have to use { STYLEREF } fields
to grab the first/last value of a particular field on the page.
