MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / January 2004Can not see merge code
I have a table in Word XP that I am merging to from excel. The field is small but my merge code is long. So I can not see the merge field to edit it. I have been increasing the size of the field and then editing and returning it to the orginial size. With over 300 codes this takes to long. Any ideas. I suspect what is workable is rather a personal matter on this one. I think I would probably go for something like: a. create and apply a paragraph style to all the paragraphs I wanted to work with b. when I want to edit the field codes, change the paragraph style to have a very small font size (say 4pt) and zoom the display to 500% c. when I have finished editing, change the style back tot he font size I want d. switch to Normal view if I have trouble navigating around the table -- Peter Jamieson - Word MVP Word MVP web site http://www.mvps.org/word > I have a table in Word XP that I am merging to from > excel.
