Use Letter Template but not Mail Merge

[Adrian Harding]

I want to know if something is possible. Presently have excel spreadsheet
table containing a number of referenced records (at present 700) as below

|Ref|Date|Name|etc.....


Want to know if there is a way to do a kind of merge to a standard letter of
the data but only on a case by case basis rather than merging the whole
datasource into word. My ideal solutions would be something where you
highlight the row and press a button and hey presto. Problem is dont know if
can be done or how to go about.

Another reason i dont want to mail merge is due to lack of computer skills
of others that will be using it and trying to navigate to the correct ref.


Thanks

Yes you can select individual "records".

Have a look at John Walkenbach's "mail merge without Word"

Might do what you want.
