Links within a merge document

L

Lisa

I am doing a mail merge with an access database. One of the fields that i
need to bring into the word document is a hyperlink. The hyperlink is
different for each letter being mailed. Is there a way to bring in field
results of a hyperlink in word?

I don't know, I've used access before but I never performed a mail merge with
it

hi Lisa,

If you select the mailmerge field that imports the hyperlink path, and press
Ctrl-F9, that will wrap it inside another field, looking something like:
{<<H_Link_Path>>}
If you type 'HYPERLINK' inside the left field brace, thus:
{HYPERLINK<<H_Link_Path>>}
The merge should now generate a hyperlink as the output.

Cheers
