Hi Louisa,

Yes, you are able to merge information from another system into a Word document, very easily. On stage 3 of the mailmerge process when you specify that you wish to use 'Existing Data' you have to browse for the data source. Which opens up a separate window for you to browse your computers files. At the bottom of this dialogue box you are able to specify the document type that you are looking for - for example an Excel Spreadsheet or an Access table. As long as the data file you want to merge has a structure with column headings and then rows of data directly beneath these headings, then the Word Mailmerge function is usually quite capable of using the data.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards

Carmen

Word tip:

Inserting a blank row above a table at the top of a page

This only works if you have created your table at the top of a page.

Go into the first cell and make sure cursor is at start of cell (if you have typed in it) and press RETURN this then puts a blank line above your table.
