MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / September 2004Database toolbar
Why does MS only talk about "mail merges" and doesn't mention the Database toolbar at all? I'm importing info from an Excel spreadsheet using the Database toolbar, and anytime I have an issue, I have a hard time finding help because everywhere I look the term "mail merge" is used. I can't even find mention anywhere of the Database toolbar, which I find odd. Pardon the rant. Thx. No idea, but if I had to guess, they probably don't think of Word as being a "data presentation" program, preferring to encourage end users towards Excel or Access depending on complexity of their data/application, and developers towards solutions based on SQL, XML, XSLT and HTML.They may also assume that anyone trying to include "data from databases" in their Word documents/applications is likely to discover stuff such as the Database toolbar and DATABASE field for themselves.
