MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / July 2005Merge data into form fields?
Hello, Does anyone know if it is possible to place a drop-down form field on a word document and have its values populated via mail merge? I tried but can't get it to work, I wasn't sure if I was missing something... Thanks! Why would you even want to do that? ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com www.MyExpertsOnline.com > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Thanks!

Do you mean populate the values of the drop with the data from the datasource, or create a mailmerge document that contains a dropdown formfield. If it's the latter, the two features that you wish to use are mutually exclusive. It could however be done by using DOCVARIABLE fields instead of mailmerge fields and using VBA to iterate through the datasource, creating a documnet for each record and setting the value of the variables.  SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
