Hi All,
I have data in text file and word template with letter
format including mergefield. I want to pass the command line argument to
generate mail merging instead of using the 6 steps to do.

for example, I should need like
WinWord name.dot c:\test.txt -s new.doc


Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
A.Chellammal

Nothing like this exists for Word, I'm afraid. But you can reduce the six
steps to one. Display the Mail Merge toolbar, then simply click the
appropriate button to merge to a new document.

Even quicker would be an AutoOpen macro that will execute when the
document is opened. But macro security might be a problem?
