MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / October 2007WordArt in Mail Merge
As iti is the season to be jolly I was printing some Christmas Cards. What I tried to do was put a mailmerge field into the WordArt phrase. It still printed the phrase completely ignoring the field. As you can get some nice effects with Wordart does anybody know if it is possible to use WordArt and mailmerge? Thanks in advance. You can only successfully use mail merge fields in the text layer of the document.

What is up with all the arbitrary absent features in Word, even as of Word 2007. You can't use a merge field in a wordart, you can't make a script call from a merge field... It's enough to drive one bonkers! > No - I know of no way to use fields in Word Art. > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > >>> > >>> Thanks in advance.
