Word Mail Merge Filter Issue
Thank you for your reply. Sounds good. However, just trying to realize why the filter is producing the issue I am having. Is Microsoft aware of this issue? Is this a known issue. If so, what are they doing about it. Blah, Blah, Blah........
"Just delete the pages you don't want" is a fine suggestion... If one knew what pages (from thousands) one didn't want.. without using a filter expression (some of the field's I'm filtering on aren't even in the output document). My work around was to resort to creating a "filter" in excel (a sheet that somewhat painfully "filters" data from the sheet I would otherwise use). Its awful, and "contaminates" the workbook. Carl_61 - I don't know what I've done differently today to have this problem, but I have other word docs filtering data from excel workbooks and they are working (and now I'm afraid to touch them) ... This one is being weird - and I don't know why.. Exactly the problem you describe ("OR" <a field in my data> "is blank" ) clause added without my asking for it.
