Microsoft Word - Next Record for Mail Merge

Microsoft Word - Next Record for Mail Merge

Next Record for Mail Merge

Posted: 15 Jan 2013 01:01 PM PST

I'm hoping this is easy.  I've got an Excel datasource used for Mail Merge.  I'm simply trying to take some elements of the spreadsheet and print them out one after the other on a page.  The idea is like this: 

 

COMMENTS REPORT

 

Name:  <<Name>>

Address:  <<Address>>

Comments: <<Comments >>

<horizontal Line>

<<Next Record>>

 

But I can't seem to get the "Next Record" part to work.  What do I need to do to get it to print one record after the next to the end of my recordset? 

 

Thank you!

I am trying to print labels (not address label), my data is in excel file and I use mail merge using word 2007.  Everything goes through fine, except when the labels are created the following page starts with 2nd record and continues with all the records on page 1.  page 3 starts with record 3 and so on.  I have total of 945 records in excel and I get 945 pages of labels populated.  
example, if the label has 20 per page: page 1 has records 1-20, page 2 has records 2-21, page 3 has records 3-22 and so on.
Please help me.

FRENCH LANGUAGE: how can I have 'ça' in french permanently recognised and used in Word 2007 when I type?

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 11:36 AM PST

The word 'ça' in french is used all the time but when typing the 'c' no cedilla is attached to it and that small word is never recognised!  Each time I have to insert it myself.  How and where can I go into WORD student 2007 and make it permanent???... as soon as 'c' and 'a' are together 'c' will have automatically a cedilla!!
With my grateful thanks.
Yours sincerely,

Changing the "page setup" defaults in Word 2003

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 10:50 AM PST

I know how to change the margins for an individual document in Word 2003, but I don't like having to do it every time I open a new one.  Is there a way to permanently reset them? 

How do I get macros to be included in the templates I create?

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 04:13 AM PST

I create company wide templates and am having problems with macros that are not included/do not work in files created from these templates. When a user creates a document based on a template, the macros either do not work (the button in the access bar is there but I get an error message when I click it. I put this down to macro security settings), or the macros are not included at all, not even the button in the access bar. It does not go systematically wrong, because for some users, everything works great.

There are many posts that deal with macros on Answers, and they all explain the importance if normal.dotm and that that file is supposed to include all macros. My normal.dotm file do not contain any macros, even though I have created numerous ones. The templates I create are distributed to a number of different physical locations by means of a common folder. There is a *.bat file that installs the templates in this location: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\.

It seems as if I do something basically wrong when creating the templates with the included macros. What I want is: a user starts a new document from a template, and all styles and macros should be available in that document, no matter where is is subsequently saved. How do I make this possible?

Can macros be included in a template so that subsequent instances of the templates contain full macro functionality, regardless of the location of the originating template or normal.dotm?

Or must:
  • normal.dotm contain all macros, which would entail that we distribute normal.dotm to all users?
  • the originating template, including the macros, be distributed and placed in a defined location on all user computers?

And one final question: must an instance of a *.dotm always be saved as *.docm for macros to work? Can it under any circumstances be a *.docx file? If there is an absolute demand for this, one would think Word would give that as a suggestion when saving a file based on a *.dotm template.


Sorry for the lengthy post, but this is driving me, and many of my fellow users, crazy.


Thanks,

Lars

Word 2010 not printing to scale

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 03:45 AM PST

On office 2010 windows 8. I draw a 10cm box in word but it prints out smaller and not to scale. I have updated my epson printer software, changed paper sizes to A4. Cannot get it to print out to scale without enlarging the document in print settings to 105%? Does anybody know how to fix this?

Adding different page numbers at the bottom of columns

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 03:37 AM PST

I have a single document with each page split into 2 columns; the page is orientated landscape, so when I print it out, I can fold it into a C5 size (i.e. half A4).
I want to add page numbers which will be different at the bottom of each COLUMN, [not each (Word) page], so that the finsihed folded document will show different page numbers on the bottom of each 'page' (= a column), and thus have two page numbers on each sheet of A4 paper.
How can I sue Word to do this automatically please?  Or do I just have to do manul inserts in the page footers, guessing the location of the middle of each column?

I am running Windows 8 and using Word 10.  When I make changes to the format and size of mailing and return addresses on the envelope page and check ok, they are not being saved but revert to the default.  How can I save the changes?
