- I cannot figure this out and its driving me nuts! I do mail merges all the time with Word on Windows, including the newest version, but it does not work the same. I set up my mail template and import the data from an Excel spreadsheet. Then I drag the 'primary contact' list as the greeting line, but the option to email the list is always grayed.
- One or two clients have mentioned problems with creating mailing labels, using Word 2007 or Word 2010 mailings tab. Only one label is being printed on each sheet of labels. To create mailing labels, from the Mailings tab, in the Start Mail Merge group, from the Start Mail Merge dropdown, click Labels. The Label Options dialog box will be displayed.

Hi everyone,
I've created a mail merge Word doc. (using Office XP) , the data source is
an Access query.
Functionality I'm attempting to set up is:
User sets a boolean field [Merge] to true for each person for whom a mail
merge letter is desired.
The query reads address info from the table for each record where [Merge] is
true.
When I open the doc via Word everything is fine, the data is loaded and the
Mail Merge toolbar is active and I can select 'Merge to New Document'.
I want to open this Word doc. from Access and perform the 'Merge to New
Document' rather than have the user work separately in Word. I can open the
doc. successfully but the mailmerge capability isn't recognized.
Here the part of the code with the problem.
If CreateWordObj Then
gobjWord.Visible = True
gobjWord.Documents.Open CurrentProject.Path & ' & DocName
DoEvents
' NEXT LINE FAILS with err.number = 5852 and err.description =
'requested object is not available'
gobjWord.ActiveDocument.MailMerge.Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
gobjWord.ActiveDocument.MailMerge.SuppressBlankLin es = True
gobjWord.ActiveDocument.MailMerge.Execute
gobjWord.ActiveDocument.PrintPreview
gobjWord.Visible = True
End If
If I remove the three lines which reference
gobjWord.ActiveDocument.MailMerge then the document opens in print preview
with the mail merge toolbar greyed out so 'merge to new document' is not
available. It's as though the mail merge capability of the document isn't
recognized.
thx for any insight anyone can offer.
