"add more items" box
Is there a way to add fields to the document without
having to close the dialogue box each time to replace the curser where the field is to go? Thanks for any help. CR |

"add more items" box
Assuming you're using Word XP or 2003, you may be able to see the old Word
2000 dialog using Tools|Customize|Comands, select category Mail Merge and locate and drag the command "insert Merge Field" to a toolbar. (Sorry, I'm not sitting at a machine with XP or 2003 on it right now, so can't be sure). Otherwise, I generally just insert all the fields I need in one go, ensure I can see the underlying field codes (use Alt-F9 to make them look like { MAILMERGE myfield }), then cut/paste them where I want them. Irritating, but marginally less annoying than having to go into that useless dialog box time and again. If you're setting up a lot of mailmerge documents and find yourself inserting the same field names again and again, you could consider using autotexts or creating a toolbar with buttons to insert the fields you wanted. -- Peter Jamieson "CR" wrote in message ...
