Word 2007 mail merge-preview results
I am using a Word 2007 doc to merge my access data into. Everything works
fine except when I want to preview the results before I merge into a new document. When I click on the "Preview Results" button, nothing happens. I need to be able to preview the results before I merge into a new document. Thank you everyone |

Well, in that case, I would not be inclined to say that everything works
fine. What happens if you do execute the merge to a new document? -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

You have a point...When I do execute the merge, everything is there as it
should be. "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: Well, in that case, I would not be inclined to say that everything works fine.

If your mergefields are displaying as field codes, i.e. like this:
{ MERGEFIELD myfield } then pressing the preview button does leave the display as it is. Perhaps that's what's happening - if so, press Alt-F9 to show field results instead of field codes, and you should see the preview data. If you then click preview again, you should see the other display form of merge fields, i.e. «myfield» Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk On 19/05/2010 00:48, brunetteblone wrote: I am using a Word 2007 doc to merge my access data into.
