Hi, I have a mail merge that contains two types of fields, one is
<<text1>> and the other is <<URL1>>. Field <<URL1>> is a hyperlink and
i do not want to show this field's data in the word document, instead i
want this hyperlink to be embeded behind <<text1>> and make <<text1>>
appear as a hyperlink. The address of this link will be the data in
<<URL1>>.

Is this possible in Ms word Merged document??

Your reply would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Moe

I don't think it will be possible to achieve this simply with a merge
operation. I believe however that it could be done using a macro.

Well this wont help untill i get to know atleast how to start writing
the macro. If you can give me a little bit of hint of direct me to a
website where i can see a sample, that would be great.

Thanks
