Use Letter Template but not Mail Merge
I want to know if something is possible. Presently have excel spreadsheet
table containing a number of referenced records (at present 700) as below |Ref|Date|Name|etc..... Want to know if there is a way to do a kind of merge to a standard letter of the data but only on a case by case basis rather than merging the whole datasource into word. My ideal solutions would be something where you highlight the row and press a button and hey presto. Problem is dont know if can be done or how to go about. Another reason i dont want to mail merge is due to lack of computer skills of others that will be using it and trying to navigate to the correct ref. Thanks Adrian Harding |

Yes you can select individual "records".
