MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / March 2006Go back or at least offer the old way to manage databases/mailing
Egad the Office 2003 version of Word makes it harder than it used to be to manipulate databases! I don't understand why you would take away the ability to do it the old way and ONLY provide the interface. The interface might be great for people who don't know their way around a database, but you have reduced the functionality of this tool for me. I hope in future updates you will give us the old way back as an option. It's still there. From the Tools menu, select Customize and on the Commands tab, select the All Commands category and scroll down through the list of commands until you come to the Mail Merge Helper item and then click and drag that onto the toolbar. Alternatively, from the View menu, select Toolbars and check the Mail Merge item. The Mail Merge toolbar has all of the buttons on it that you will need for performing mail merges.  SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
