I have a complicated set of Word documents to produce that have multiple sections some requiring data in a table format.
I have broken the document down into a set of eperate documents which I then link into the main document via the INCLUDETEXT field.
This works fine if each document is using the same text file as its data source but some sections need to show different tables of data and therefore require a different data file.
I can get round this by merging these documents first and saving the output to seperate documents and then linking these documents into the master document, but this slows the whole process down.
For example,
step 1) Mail merge sub doc 1 - save as subdoc1
step 2) Mail merge sub doc 2 - save as subdoc2
step 3) Mail merge master doc which has INCLUDETEXT links to subdoc1 and subdoc2
Is there any way to merge multiple documents/multiple data sources from one master document without splitting it into steps like this?
