MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / December 2004Remove Rows from a Table after merging
Hello, I have a table in a word document that contains merge fields. If the merge fields contain no data in them, they do not print. I would like to apply the same functionality to the table itself by eliminating the table row. Is there a way to remove a row from a table if the cells in the row contain no data? I am using Visual Basic .NET to open the Word Document, perform the merge action and print the merged documents. I am using Word XP. Thank you. Hi Kevin, No, there's nothing in Word that would do this. But why not FILTER the data so that the data row simply isn't processed by the merge? > I have a table in a word document that contains merge fields.

The problem is that I want to display the results of the merge in a table. Since I cannot add (or delete) Table rows dynamically to match the merge (that I know of), I am stuck with having a fixed set of Table Rows. Which means that I will have blanks rows when there is not enough data from the merge to fill them all. > Hi Kevin, > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or > reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) Hi Kevin, > The datarow from the merge isn't the problem. > The problem is that I want to display the results of the merge in a table. > Since I cannot add (or delete) Table rows dynamically to match the merge > (that I know of), I am stuck with having a fixed set of Table Rows.

Set the main merge document type as DIRECTORY. Now execute the merge to a new document. You'll get a table row for each record Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 8 2004) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
