MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / May 2006MailMerge Outlook 2003? Are these bugs...?
When using MailMerge from Outlook 2003, I select an existing MailMerge document file with fields. 1) The document never just goes ahead and merges - it always forces the animated help character to show itself and I have to click "merge now" and then aagain click on a dialog and select merge again! Maybe not a bug but....Is there a way to get it just to merge? 2) This I think is a bug! After finally getting the merge to work - it leaves three files OPEN: a) The final merged document - this makes sense b) The document with the fields that I used for teh merge - why leave this open at all? c) A third BLANK document called "document 1" - this seems like a bug! Thanks for any help, VA What you describe are the intended normal functions and dialogs that you get when first preparing a merge from Outlook - see http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm.

Is there a way I can automate this through a button so I needn't go through all those dialog's etc...? > What you describe are the intended normal functions and dialogs that you get > when first preparing a merge from Outlook - see [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Thanks for any help, > > VA You could ask in an Outlook group about vba programming, but if you save the record subset that you are merging from Outlook, you can use it to merge starting from Word. Or you can start the merge from Word and limit yourself to a lesser field set available from the Outlook filter.
