MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / July 2005Can you use mail merge on a protected document?
I'm trying to design a form that has some mail merge fields as well as some form fields (checkboxes). But when I protect the document the mail merge tool is no longer available. Yes, and if you complete a mailmerge (merge to a document) your formfields will be gone. What, exactly, are you trying to accomplish? Perhaps someone can suggest a way to get it done using different tools. What are you starting with? What do you want to end up with?

I have created an Update Details form, where by in one column I present the current details we hold in our database (merge fields) and in the adjacent column an oportunity for my contacts to add their up to date details,. I am also after new information, that requires drop down list and tick boxes. So - how can I email mail merge my form once I have protected it? thanks :) > Ah... ! > From the FAQ [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > >> > merge > >> > tool is no longer available.
