merging in office 2003 Microsoft word with access database?

Question

i need to send a letter to various people in my database including their name and address. how do i select the correct people I tried wizard but am now even more confused

Answer 1

Since you are in Access with your data, why not make a report that will print the letters. Create a new report, open your Word document, Select all, go back to your report and copy.

Place your fields on the document where you want them and preview to see how it looks.

After you paste it in, you need to right click on the Word Document, select Document Object, then Edit. Then you can place the fields from the reports record source on the report where you want them.

This lets you use Accesses Queries as a recordsource instead of trying to use MSQuery between Word and Access.
