Mail Merge Questions... New to Mail Merge and on a Mac
I figured out the Checkbox (ticks) and mail merging it!!! it was simpler then what I was thinking. mathetes helped when he suggested "text-based alternative." I used Wingdings font (Symbol) on BOTH documents (I had done it on the excel once but when I would merge it, it would not work correctly)..... This time I entered my merge field on the Word Doc and then change the font to Wingdings (it looked crazy). Then on the Excel I changed the font in the columns that I need check boxes to Wingdings and found that X was a checked box and O was a empty one.. and there they were when I re saved and previewed results..
!! Thank you all !!
You got that tricky multiple level conditional to work too?! That must feel great; I know it does when I finally get something like that to work, something that's been a real challenge.
First thing you know, Andrea, you're going to be answering questions here from other users!!
- I hope I can answer questions soon!
I have not gotten that multiple level conditional to work ... Its a thorn in my side. But I was able to recreate a small version that I am going to upload in a new message.
