MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / July 2006Duplication Error
I have two applications that merge data into Word 2003. Each application when it merges, the fields in my word documents are duplicated several times for each field. What could be the issue. I have reinstalled Word, both applications, renamed the normal.dot file to not avail. Any help would be appreciated. Ronald > the fields in my word documents are duplicated several times for > each field. Can you describe what this looks like? For example if you have abc{ MERGEFIELD field1 }def{ MERGEFIELD field2} does the out put have abc<field1value><field1value>def<field2value><field2value> or abc<field1value>def<field2value> abc<field1value>def<field2value> or what? Is change tracking switched on? Could it be to do with that? Peter Jamieson >I have two applications that merge data into Word 2003.

If so, a. what happens when you do the same merge manually? b. what code is being used to automate Word? Peter Jamieson > Change tracking is not turned on on these documents.

All I know is that Word is being called by each one and then the duplication happens. Reinstalling Word and the applications did not help on this machine. All my other machines are fine. > OK, I don't know what the problem is, but is your application automating > Word?

(I do not think this will make any difference but it's all I can think of). I would also check that you have the same templates and addins in Tools|Templates and Add-ins. b. since you have just re-installed everything, use the registry editor to delete Word's "data key" in the registry - see the following article for information about that: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm (look at the section called "Deleting and recreating the corrupt registry values") Peter Jamieson >I don't know how each application is calling Word to merge the documents. >All [quoted text clipped - 51 lines] >> >> > >> >> > Ronald
