MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / March 2005Find in Field Issue
Hi, Not an expert user however: I have a Large Mail Merge Document which I need to be able to search by field. When I select Find In Field and enter the search string and then select the Field_Name it does not get found. This funtion worked fine in previous versions of Word and now using Word 2003 it appears not to function correctly. Any help gratefully appreciated. Thanks Dave Hi Dave, > When I select Find In Field and enter the search string and then select the > Field_Name it does not get found. > > This funtion worked fine in previous versions of Word and now using Word > 2003 it appears not to function correctly. The "Find" functionality did not work correctly prior to Word 2002, in that you couldn't execute the mail merge (or use any of the tools) until you did a search that came up with an invalid result. If you were NOT seeing this behavior in Word 2000, then you must have been using a third-party tool (macro). Macro code written for Word 2000 will not work in Word 2002/2003 because the command has been changed (and is now broken for VBA). The internal "Find" command, however, should now work correctly.

I have created a new document and database of only 5 fields and the find entry does not find any entries searched for... Any suggestions??? > Hi Dave, > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or > reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
