Hello IMNetUser :

Thanks for those links, OEM version, is out in the cold. NO can do with OEM versions. However, I think that my specs will be more than enough to use the new office 2007. My computer is only five years old, not too mention I call him charley, and he has never let me down yet.

Hello Macropod:

I personally do not use Mr. or Ms. Mrs. on the addresse block any longer, however, I do use it on the Salutation line of course, including the labels also.

I am doing a large mailout for a client and he was in a rush, since I have completed the merge manually, I will test this out over the weekend. I took a look at “Osbourne complete reference” and the instructions are very minimal.

Thank you for your support Macropod, I will test your code tomorrow, so please stay tuned. Yesterday, I used the receipient list to do my labels and everything worked out fine. Now I am just going to print the merge.

Hello Macropod:

I went back into my main document, and review the recipient list, I went into customize, and realise that I would be able to add Mr or Mrs or Ms

I will go into the main document and use your code, I just wanted to confirm that your code would go on the salutation line, I am sure that it does. Please see the following attachment,

Hello Everyone:

Thanks Macropod: for the insert merge code, just to confirm with you; I have my main document and I used the “Insert Word Field” to be able to setup the addresses, instead of the “Insert Address Block”

With the Salutation (Dear Mr. So and so) I just typed the word Dear and then I went back and used the “Insert word Field” again for the “Last Name” merge field.

How would I use your merge field that you have provided for me?

Thanks for your input Hans, Samantha, much appreciated. At the moment I am crunched for time, so I did exactly what Hans suggested, I did it manually.

Hello HansV:

I am using word 2002, so I will have to check, I found the “insert word field” I noticed that it has the “if..then..else option, I will play with and see what I can do.

With the initial data source that I created, I did not use Mr. or Mrs; so I might have to go back and edit my data source.

Thank you,

dillon

Hello jscher2000:

thank for your support, I understand what you mean, one of the problems that I had was that some of the addresses are male, and some female, there is nothing that allows you to automactically change Mr. to Mrs.

this needs to be done manually; I found it easier to use the “insert merge fields” button.

Again, thanks for your support

Hello macropod:

The powerpoint was suffering from the font change; I am not sure about how the information was put into the powerpoint.

Quite possibly, the other person saved the file with different data to what your person had to work with – hence the disparity

You hit the nail on the head, the admin did not check to see if her data was correct, (silly woman) and she was scolded for it.

I have been at this client for 4 days, and she has given me all the blank blank jobs, (serves her right)

However, although it was lazyness on her part, I still would like to suggest for her to correct the problem.

Hello everyone:

Thanks Big Al, can’t you tell I don’t get out much. Jscher2000m thanks for sharing that important information with me, I will disable the bounce back button.

Question for you, is mail washer still worth having. Allow me to answer a part of my own question, I like the fact the emails are no longer coming in my email box, but I would like to know how to get rid of them?

thanks in advance.

hello Big Al:

Thanks for the explantaion, what is Thunderbird? I really appreciate that you shared this software with the forum. As I previously mentioned, I use outlook, I have created my own filters, but it still send the emails to me.

I was getting tired of just delete them, I will keep MW for a year and then go solo. I like the fact that I can bounce an email back to the little #@%%*(.

Oops, I lost my composure, but you know what I mean.

Just in case you’re a user but not on Nick Bolton’s mailing list. New ( upgrade ) version here: Email Security, Anti-spam, Anti Virus Software, MailWasher

Hey Big Al:

I use Outlook, do I open the mailwasher first, or do I open up outlook?

Thanks

UPDATE:

I finally bit the bullet and update my NFirewall, however, the customer service rep, said she was going to bill me an extra $13.00 dollars for a processing fee. No, your not I replied, I only want to pay for the upgrade. I will be writing a letter to symantec, and informing them that this extra fee is not right.

Hello Liberty:

Thank you for your reply, I am a bit of a neat freak. Do I have to go into windows and look for any other files.
