------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Mar 9 09:26:08 -0800 2005 ------- The Mail Merge Wizard needs a way to add database fields that do not belong to the Address or Greetings block. Currently this can be done at Stage 6 (Preview and Edit Document) by using Edit Document... placing the cursor in the required position and taking Insert > Fields > Other (or Ctrl-F2) > Mail Merge Fields. I think that the data source you are using in currently highlighted, but you must still click on it to see a choice of fields. You then need to Close, reposition the cursor and repeat the process for any other field you need to insert. This process needs to be made easier for the users of the Wizard. My proposal is that a drop down list of available fields in the data source is added to the small Mail Merge Wizard toolbar under a button labeled something like 'Add Fields'. Clicking on an item in the list would add the field to the cursor position. This is functionality very similar to Word 97 mail merge. Also add to the Preview and Edit Document form, "You can also add other fields from your data source" after "Write or edit your document now if you have not already done so." --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
