MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / December 2006creating cover sheets
I need to create covers for documents in MSWord and I would like to use Merge to do this. I have made a template that has blank spaces to insert date, names, venue and other details which have to be typed individually on each cover. I cannot take these details from a database as every cover will have once off details to be inserted. I want to be able to press a key that will move to the next field as I insert each detail. Can anyone help me as to how to do this please? Tell us more about these cover sheets and the documents they cover. Is this a merge? What type of merge? What is the relationship of the cover sheet to the merge? Are you merging a cover sheet for each record or one for the whole? Depending on what you are doing, investigate FillIn and Ask fields and see also http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm  Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> > I need to create covers for documents in MSWord and I would like to > use Merge to do this.

Can anyone help me as to how to do this please? I must apologise because I had posted this question a week or so ago but then "lost" it. After I sent the question today, I "found" my previous question and response from Sue. At the moment what I have for the cover is a template where I have simply typed Xs at the points where I have to insert date of trial, name of defendant, names of counsel, etc. After reading Sue's response I have put Macro Buttons in place of Xs. (I did this by copying them from a fax template supplied with the Word programme.) Now I am trying to fathom how to use FillIn so that I can tab from one MacroButton to the next but I came over to Word from WP5.1 a mere a month ago and I am finding this a wee bit complicated, to put it mildly, but I daresay I will get there eventually.

F11 will move the cursor to the next field I would stick with the macrobutton fields - you can insert them from the insert > field menu or type them directly using CTRL+F9 for the field boundaries - see http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> > I must apologise because I had posted this question a week or so ago > but then "lost" it.

Yes, I had posted it under Word General Questions and then, as I say, I couldn't find it when I went to look for the responses. I am going to try your suggestions now which should much simpler. Thanks for your assistance. BTW I love your house in Cyprus.
