Merge Toolbar

[Littlebear]

I know that previously when I used the toolbar, the "Insert Merge Field" was
the drop down box. Now I have "Insert World Field."

I'm using a Word table as my data base.

Did something flukey hapepen here?

Thanks!

You should have both pulldowns. Try unchecking the Mail Merge toolbar under
View>Toolbars to remove it, and then go back and check it again to get it to
be displayed afresh.

Interestingly, I don't. Nor do others in my office. Hm, off to investigate
further.

Thanks for your help Doug!

You don't what?

Try Tools > Customize
Mailmerge in the left-window
Drag "Insert Merge field" to your toolbar.

He doesn't have the pulldown for inserting the Mailmerge Fields. He only
has the one for inserting Word Fields.

That is what I guessed, which is why I gave instructions for adding the
mailmerge fields pulldown using the Customize dialog.

Thanks Charles, this is exactly what I was looking for. At some point I must
have customized the toolbar, but it was so long ago I didn't remember the
process. And somehow my Merge Toolbar went back to default.

Kindest regards and thanks again for your help.
