APPLICABLE TO:
FileMaker Pro 7, FileMaker Pro 8, Mac OS X
ISSUE:
FileMaker changed the application format with the release of FileMaker Pro
7.
FileMaker Pro 7 and FileMaker Pro 8 use the .fp7 extension and this is not
recognized by the Data Merge Manager in Microsoft Word for Mac.
RESOLUTION:
A quick way to address this issue would be to:
Export the data from FileMaker Pro in a format that is recognized by
Microsoft Word.
Import the data into Microsoft Word
FileMaker Pro and many application programs that you want to exchange data
with use a proprietary file format. In order to exchange data, you must
export the data from one application in a format that the other application
can import. If you're exchanging data with another application program,
check the documentation that came with that program to determine a common
intermediary file format that both FileMaker Pro and the other program
supports.
To export FileMaker Pro data:
Open the FileMaker Pro file, and display a layout that shows the records you
want to export.
Find and sort the records to export.
Choose File menu > Export Records.
In the Export Records to File dialog box, type a name and choose a location
for the file.
Choose a file type from Type (Mac OS). Use a file format like Merge (.mer)
which is supported by Microsoft Word, then click Save.
Further information on how to export FileMaker Pro data to be used in
another application and supported formats can be found in FileMaker Pro
Help.
