MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / March 2004Mail Merge into Header
Is it possible to insert a merge field or bookmark into a Word 2000 document header? I've tried a bookmark via Access and a merge field via Excel. Word acts as if the header information is write protected. I don't see a way of opening the header before either inserting data into the bookmark (via Access) or merge field (via Excel). It is not possible - nor is it possible to put bookmarks in the merged document. You should be able to use a Styleref field in the merge document header to reproduce the content of a particular paragraph style - which may contain the field from the document that you want to put in the header.

I am far from being an expert but have succeeded in creating a merge document (Word 2000), opening view header and then inserting an Access 2000 field. It is simple and straight forward. > Is it possible to insert a merge field or bookmark into a > Word 2000 document header? I've tried a bookmark via > Access and a merge field via Excel.
