MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / December 2003Converting WordPerfect Mail Merge files to Word 2000
I am needing to convert mail merge files that were created in Wordperfect. I am not sure how to do this. I have tried opening and saving the file as a Word mail merge main doc. But when I bring it into Word the merge fields are not moving with the file. My question is can this be done, and if so how can I get the merge fields to convert into Word. Thanks, Hi Annette, > I am needing to convert mail merge files that were created > in Wordperfect.

I get the feeling I'm not correctly understanding what you mean with this last sentence. Could you be a bit more specific, please? You open the WP doc in Word (which VERSION?)... - Do you get prompted about conversions? - does all the formatting come through you'd otherwise expect? - you just don't see any merge fields? How would you recognize them? - If you press Alt+F9 to display the field codes, do you see any { } with text? What is the first word in any of these?
