Hey, Hey Hey --- SCANPST WORKED LIKE A CHAMP
Great!
Where are these Newsgroups you spoke of? I would be really interested in
paticipating in them.
Well, you're posting to one now. However, there are several ways to do it,
so different people have a different perception of what they are doing.
These newsgroups used to be referred to as USENET and to be accessed using a
thing called a USENET Newsreader, which used a thing called NNTP to interact
with the newsgroups. I access them the "old" way, using the newsreader
capability of Outlook Express. A lot of people prefer to use a web interface
or have to because company firewalls often disallow NNTP. It looks as if you
have gone to the Microsoft "Communities" site and are using their web
interface to the same groups. To search for stuff, I generally go to
http://groups.google.com (and you can also post via their interface if you
sign up with them, but I've never done that myself)...
Using MailMerge to fill in a Premade Word Doc using
"overtype" for the merged fields instead of "insert". As it is now
"inserting" merged fields "pushes" other info on the line down causing the
line to "Wrap" around onto another line.
....and for that question, this is probably the right group to ask. However,
the answer is not obvious, because it depends on what you want to happen. If
the merge is inserting so much text that the following text occupies a new
line, then there simply isn't enough space and something has to give (you
can make the text smaller or put it inside a table cell that will not grow
to accommodate the new text.
If you have a predefined space that the text must go in, what you probably
need to do is set a tab at the leftmost possible point that the following
text should be at, then use
blah blah <<myfeild>><tab>following text...
(with a real tab where I've put <tab>)
That's the best I can suggest given the info. available,
