MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / December 2003NextRecord problem when inside textbox for graphic labels
I have designed a custom graphic label. All the MailMerge features work fine. EXCEPT!! THE PROBLEM IS with the Word Field called - <<NextRecord>>. My merge fields are inside a text box. When I run the Merge command, I get an error message that it won't work. If I remove <<NextRecord>> then the process works fine, but (as you know) I get the same record over and over. Where & how can I place the word field <<NextRecord>> on the label and make it work correctly? The label is laid out like this: 3 Sections: Section 1: Top Left - Logo Section 2: Top Middle & Right - Rectangular box with Return address on top of it (in a text box). Section 3: Bottom - Rectangular box with Sender's address on top of it (in a text box). As stated before, the problem is with the <<NextRecord>> code in the textbox. Please help! Instead of using text boxes, split the cell that forms each label into two rows, and then split the top cell into two. Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis. Hope this helps Doug Robbins - Word MVP > I have designed a custom graphic label.
