MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / January 2005Word 2000 vs 2003
I previously used Word 6.0 (dinosaur), and have been thrown into Word 2003. I'm interested in taking a class on mail merge, but all that is offered is Word 2000. How different or similar are the two systems?? Would I be wasting my money?? Have a look at http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm and see if you still need the class. Ask any outstanding questions here and save your money :)  Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> > I previously used Word 6.0 (dinosaur), and have been thrown into Word > 2003.

I have visted this site previously. However, in this instance I did not find the answer to my question. I know how to do a mail merge, but I need more "training" on formating the documents, using "if statements" and includuing text, etc. Will Word 2000 be comparable to what I'm currently using in Word 2003??? > Have a look at http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm and > see if you still need the class.

The actual business of merging, formatting and using conditional statements is no different between the versions. If you already know how to format a merge document, you will have no difficulty. It is primarily the connection method to the data, which requires Word to provide the formatting (though this is not insurmountable) and the different interfaces, which the quoted article addresses. I have more information about fields on my web site - http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm which you should find useful. If you have any specific problem regarding the use of fields etc then you can always ask it here in the ng.

Within the document I have included another document (pleading caption). The formatting in the 'pleading caption' document is not correct. I need some of the information to be centered and some to be left justified. I have tried to make the necessary corrections numerous different ways, but the changes are not saved. How do make the changes in the included document (pleading caption) and make sure the changes are saved and to make sure the changes are reflected in the main document (pleading 1) > The actual business of merging, formatting and using conditional statements > is no different between the versions.
