Word 2000 Macro not working properly w/merge
I'm creating a word merge into a new doc. I have text fields that aren't
merging, so I looked for help and found this macro on MS support that's suppose to fix it and have the merge retain any text fields. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211308/ I put it all in, and it works except on the 2nd page of the doc it leaves the place holders. The doc is only two pages after the merge, 3 before the merge, anyone know why the it creates text fields on the first page, but not on the second page? |
