sorting by date & exported to word for mail merge
How do I sort a spreadsheet & then exported that information to word to use
as a mail merge to send out a letter via faxmaker? For example: I have a customer spreadsheet and on that spreadsheet I have them entered into a column titled "expiration dates". I want to sort that information so the next 2 weeks of expiration dates (i.e. until 9/9/08, if I did it today) were sorted out & then exported to a word document (letter). The letter would have the insurance agent's name & customer name dropped in at the top. The letter would state that I need a new insurance certificate sent to me by the expiration date (the expiration date dropped in from the spreadsheet). I would like the insurance agent's fax number exported somehow so I could send the word document to the appropriate agents from my desktop using faxmaker, then I don't have to print out each word document & manually fax. any suggestions? |

You don't want to export anything.
Open Word and go to ToolsMailMerge. Use Excel as the source for the mailmerge. See these sites for help. http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/mailmerg.htm http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MailMe...AMailMerge.htm http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MailMe...DataSource.htm Note.........if you give your table a defined name you don't have to have the worksheet first in the workbook.
