MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / April 2004Postcard mail merge problem-HELP!
Still having problems... I have done other label creations in mail merge and they WORKED. However, this is different only in that the postcard has other pictures, text boxes, and formating to it, besides the merge fields. There is design work done in the creation of layout for the postcard of information to be sent to recipient. Is there a problem with some kind of a section break or something?

I spotted your earlier messages later - a large whisky before retiring is not the best way to keep the brain clear :) It would have helped if you had posted in the same thread. The procedure for assembling diverse information on labels (including postcards) is shown in the links I posted. You do not need section breaks. Avoid the use of text boxes to hold fields.

I set the postcard up with a table and inserted my graphics and text into the cells, along with the mail merge part being in a separate cell and IT WORKED! Finally! Had been working on this on and off for over 3 weeks! What is a hold field? >-----Original Message----- >I spotted your earlier messages later - a large whisky before retiring is [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > >. You have misread - substitute 'contain' for 'hold'! :) Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>>< ><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP Web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site www.mvps.org/word <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>>< ><<> > Thanks, the tip about not using text boxes was what > finally worked.
