This button allows you to perform the Mail Merge process on the Document Definition just created. This button also can be used to test the Document Definition setup or run ad hoc mail merges.
Clicking this button will:
· Save any data changes made.
· Fill the Merge Data File with all records returned by the specified Query (PBL and Datawindow name).
· Load the word processor and open the specified merge document.
· Merge the document with the data file.
· View, save to file, or print the merged document(s), depending on the Merge Method setting selected.
The All Data or Preview setting is ignored when you click the Merge button.
If you choose a merge method of either Merge To File or Print Letters and if the word processor (specifically Word 95) is not open, the word processor will not be visible. In other words, the only time you will see the word processor is if it is already open when you click the Merge button.
