Mail Merge template for all users

cofee · #1 09-06-2016, 06:08 AM

Hi,

I make a new .dot template width mail merge funkcition (Excel data source on shared location for everyone). When I use the template the mail merge is work fine (state: Letters). But if other user open the file, the mail merge funkction is inactive, the documnet state is Normal Word Document.
What can I do in this situation? My goal is a "centralised" (for all users) template with a mail merge.

OS: W2008R2
OFF: 2007 Basic

Thanks

Mailmerges should be run from a mailmerge main document, not from a template. If the mailmerge main document is stored in a location accessible by all users, it should work equally well for all of them.
