MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / October 2004Mail Merge Header in 2003
Updated from Office 2000 to 2003. In 2000 had mail merge that used data file and separate header file, in 2003 cannot seem to have a separate header file with field names in. I'm I missing something? Thanks for your help. Peter Things have definitely changed. Although it is possible to set up a separate header file (you can find the function in the old Mail Merge Helper or the MailMergeOpenHeaderSource function, either of which you can drag to a toolbar or menu from the list in the All Commands category in Tools|Customize|Commands), Beyond that, in my experience a. Word only lets you use a separate header source with certain types of data source b. at some point (perhaps Word 2002) you lost the ability to have a header source with no specific data source. At least one person has suggested to me that (b) is not correct so perhaps I have yet to see the light as well..  SignaturePeter Jamieson > Updated from Office 2000 to 2003.

I had the same problem (with not being able to use a separate header source) and couldn't find anything in the MS Support files except "You can use a separate header source with Word 2003". A lot of good that did me..... Fred. > Things have definitely changed.

You /might/ be able to alter or replace the wizard but even if it is, I am not (yet!) familiar with the objects and VBA required to do that.
