We have been using Word for e-mail merge, but now we need Personalized
Hyperlinks and we are switching to Publisher. Unfortunately, now the
only data fields which work are the Personalized Hyperlinks, and
everything else displays in the mailed messages as a field name, not
with any merged data.
Our addresses and data are in Excel spreadsheets. We found the wizard
to be very intuitive and our setup had no problems or error messages.
When we show the peiview of e-mails, each field has live data as it
should. The only problem is that the emails are sent out with no live
data. Only the Personalized Hyperlink varies from one email to the
next - all the rest of every email is the same. Every merge field
shows its field name, never any data.
More oddly, we do see live data in the Subject of our emails. We get
a personalized Subject line for each email recipient, but the Greeting
line in the message body says only "Greeting Line", not "Dear so-and-
so". This suggest taht the connection to the spreadsheet is OK, but
somehow the merge fields in the document are the problem.
We must be missing something simple, but it's not obvious. We have
Publisher 2007 12.0.4518.1014 from the Office Enterprise Edition.
Any suggestions? Please?
