Jay--
Thanks for your thoughts. I really do appreciate them. I'm afraid I do not
have a very good "grasp" of the proper terminology to use to describe the
problem I am having. I have created a Word document that is calling a series
of other documents based on specific criteria found in the mail merge
datafile.
Here is an example of my document:
Faculty/Staff Indicator: {MERGEFIELD FAC_STAFF_IND}
Designation Name: {MERGEFIELD ACK_DESG_DESC}
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Section Break (Next
Page):::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
{IF {MERGEFIELD FULL_NAME} <> " " "{INCLUDETEXT
"C://WFU_ACKS//envelope.doc"}" ""}
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Section Break
(Next Page)::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
{IF {MERGEFIELD ACK_GIFT_AMT_FORMATTED } > 0 {INCLUDETEXT
"C://WFU_ACKS//Receipt.doc"}" ""}
So, basically my problem is the same. This merge works fine, and the end
result is formatted fine when I run it as is above. However, this document
is a "piece" of a larger mail merge document, and when the appropriate
criteria is met, and this merge is executed, it loses my envelope formatting,
and simply prints the envelope information on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.
I'm afraid I only know enough to be dangerous. ;) I don't have any idea
about programming in Visual Basic. I will definitely look through the links
you sent me in the above response. Thanks!
