Flyers with sequential numbers
Hi
I am producing flyers and want to add a lucky drew number to them. I have done the following, excel document (flyers) numbered 001 - 500, have also tried 1 - 500. Have placed a text box on the player image (flyer is a full A5 graphic on top of an A5 word document) The text box is great transparent I then try to add "Insert Merge Field" and nothing appears? Am I looking at this wrong, or is there a simpler way of doing this. Object required. To be able to print out flyers with sequential numbers, when I stop a print run and go back it will continue where I left off. Operating system: Windows 10 (64bit) Software: MS Office 2010. Thanks in advance |

Does the Excel sheet have a heading in the numbered column? Have you connected the document to the Excel data source? See: https://support.office.com/en-us/art...f-932c49474705
FWIW, you can do this without a mailmerge. See: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...html#post13070 and the implementation in: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...html#post13162

Hi Paul (macropod)
Thanks so much for the prompt reply. I knew it had to be something simple. Yes, your first guess was correct done everything except, connect the document up to the data source. All is working fine, I did look at the non-merge examples looked complicated for the simple task I needed. Thanks Again. |
