IPAD APP for mail merge ?

Hi all,
hope you can help...
We currently go out to clients and get the information for quotations. We come back enter information such as Client, address, name, price etc into MS Excel and then mailmerge it with a template within MS word. This produces the quote and we email the pdf across to customer.
Is there such an app for the IPAD that could do you same? I would like to pre enter the information I would know eg client, address etc... Then onsite type prices, this would then (then a templete) produce a quote which could be emailed before I leave.
Thanks in advance for advice.
David

Hey,
I know this is not a reply to your question but I just wanted to ask you about a problem I encountered while mail merging. The steps I follow: Create a mail merge in Microsoft Word using the necessary steps ( I am pretty sure that they are correct) and then press the Finish & Merge button. The messages are then in my configured Outlook's outbox. The problem is that they have been in the outbox for a whole night ad not even one message got sent.
Please reply if you kow the answer.
Thanks.

Can I use FileMaker as a source for mail merge in Pages

Can I use FileMaker as a source for mail merge in Pages

Sorry I posted this and then started reading some of the replies. I did see them as I am newbie here.
Looks like the only solution at this time is to export the data to a csv file, open it in numbers and use the numbers file as the source for the mail merge.
Would it be possible to have FileMaker then run an applescript ? or automator script to automatically convert the CSV file to numbers and then rename that Numbers file so that it is consistent and can be reused by the Pages "template" for subsequent documents to be used based on this template?

Import data from SQL Server into MS Word document for Mail Merge purpose ?

Hi,
Is it possible to import contacts from SQL Server into MS Word for mail merge purpose or if retrieving data from MS Excel can we update the data in MS Excel sheet without opening it ?
Note: Remember when you open a word document already set up for mail merge, asks you to run the query to return all records from the excel sheet it is connected to.

Word and the current data source dialog do not really give you any help with that.
You either have to be able to create a View in SQL Server that performs the query you need, then connect to that, or you have to be able to create the correct query manually (or perhaps using some other query tool that can help you), then use VBA to connect
using that query.
For example, if you have been through the connection process once (connecting to a single table) then you will have a .odc (Office Data Connection file) which has the info. needed to connect to the correct server and database. It's a text file with some
HTML and XML inside. You can copy/rename it. Let's say it is called "c:\a\myodc.odc" Then in VBA you can use something like
ActiveDocument.OpenDataSource Name:="c:\a\myodc.odc, _
SQLStatement:="put your SQL statement in here, and if it is long,...", _
SQLStatement1:="put the second part in here"
You get a maximum of either 255 or around 511 characters in the SQL statement, and Word tends to impose some syntax requirements that Transact-SQL does not, so e.g. you may need to quote all your table names.
You can also se an empty .odc file and provide connection info. in the COnnection:= parameter in OpenDataSource.
As background, until Word 2000, by default you would use MS Query to create your SQL query, and MS Query does have facilities that can help you build your query (a bit like the ones in MS Access). That may still be possible (it is a bit harder to find the MS
Query option now, and I am not sure it works with the latest versions of Word). MS Query only works for ODBC queries, and they do not always work correctly when you actually issue the query using ODBC from Word, because of a Word problem to do with Unicode
fields in SQL Server. But you could probably still use MS Query to help you construct your SQL. (It's probably easier to do that in Excel, though).

Leveraging Book of Business for Mail Merge

I'm looking for some advice from the community on how I can make use of the Book of Business for segmenting records for mail merges?
Bascially, I want to restrict my mail merge to contain only those contacts who are linked to a specific Book of Business. Problem is I'm not quite sure how best to achieve this!
Thanks in advance,
Cameron

Cameron,
I don't believe you can get a list of records attached to a book (wish you could), you'd need to create the list based upon your rules for assigning BOB's. For example with a company i setup BOB for we assigned the books by region. So where location = north then assign to North book. Your list would then be where location= north.
hope this helps.

Anyone having trouble with iPad app for Comcast?

Anyone having trouble with iPad app for Comcast?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—again, the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

If you mean finding any apps whose current version works on iOS 5.1.1 then see this page : https://sites.google.com/site/appleclubfhs/support/advice-and-articles/finding-a pps-for-older-devices#5.1.1
Or are you looking for a particular app ? Some developers allow you to download older compatible versions of their apps : Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X.

Ipad apps for video

Does anyone know when Verizon is planning on issuing an ipad app for watching videos purchased from their site???

The Verizon media manager lets you watch flex view vod that you purchased, but I prefer using the network apps myself. Hbo go Cinemax on demand, epic has an app, NBC, abc, etc. TNT, tbs espn. Netflix and I really like my Hulu plus for tv series They all have apps and give you some stuff until fios gets on board with streaming live tv and your dvr content from your iPad. They have some pretty cool YouTube videos about it.

Ipad app for displaying pdf bookmarks

I have the new 3rd generation iPad and I'm looking for an iPad app that will display bookmarked PDF's in a manner similar to how they are displayed on my computer (i.e., bookmarks listed in the navigation panel on the left side of the screen and the PDF document to the right of that). I have the iBooks app but it only displays the bookmarks in the Table of Contents and doesn't show the document itself simultaneously. I also have the free Adobe Reader app; however when I tap the bookmarks icon at the bottom of the app it only shows a few bookmarks even though the document contains many more (lately it also seems to crash whenever I try to use it).
The PDF documents I review on a monthly basis are fairly large (2,000+ pages with 200+ bookmarks per document). The ability to do some basic annotations would also be nice but not essential since I would do any serious annotation work to the file in Adobe Acrobat Professional on my computer. Obviously, there are numerous PDF apps available but I can't tell from their descriptions if they will display the bookmarked files in the manner I want. Any suggestions from users who have actual experience with various apps would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Label Templates for Mail Merge - Any ideas?

Okay you guys, I want to RAPIDLY set up various label templates (as you can in WORD) by selecting the label type ( manufacturer code) and off you go with your merging. Problem is, I cannot find anything like that - or am I overlooking something?
I have found how you set up a Mail Merge field etc. But I cannot find any indicators ( even on the Help) as to where you can get label or equivalent templates... ALL help gratefully received... even if it is staring me in the face! - I have broad shoulders!
Here's hoping....

Jerrold, thank you, however, it is more than just addresses, I have been used to creating all sorts of labels using logos, words etc. and "it just happened" - it sure aint at the moment! I fear I may have to resort to Avery's on-line app and do it "in the clouds" not something I wish to do really... I wonder what the reason is for not allowing such a core need in Pages at the moment?
Oh well !

IPAD App for SAP without Middleware

Hi experts,
I am new about mobility topics and I am involved in a new project that consists in developing iPAD apps using data from SAP ECC and saved into the tablet.
In my business scenario there will be about 1.000 users that need to synchronize data from SAP ECC with the following characteristics:
Volumes
Basically there are 2 type of data to store into the iPAD:
Clients assigned in Portfolio (about 1500 clients per User to download)
Static data (i.e. configuration table/parameter)
Let's assume that the size of data exchanged is about 3 Megabyte
Frequency
The initial upload has to be made once a year and thereafter once a day it should be checked for updates
At the very present time we are supposing to use web services calling SAP ECC in order to retrieve and store data.Is there any particular drawback in doing it without a Middleware?
I have heard about Sybase, but I cannot find the real advantage since it seems to be another database where data can be replicated into it. As for the device management console, my client is adopting yet AirWatch.
I have also heard about SAP Netweaver Gateway but I cannot catch the real advantage into using it.
Thanks
E.

Hi Emanuele,
In your case, SUP would provide the development tools, framework and APIs to easily handle the authentication, synchronization etc. You wouldn't need to define your own synchronization mechanism, it's in the product. Now if the updates are only sent from the server to the mobile devices, this shouldn't be to difficult to handle even without SUP.
You could easily create REST Web Services using Gateway and then consume them using the mobile devices. You don't want to consume SOAP Web Services using a mobile application, trust me. You could do this using the ICF (Internet Communication Framework) to achieve this but again it would be easier with Gateway.
You don't necessarily need SUP or Gateway to create only a simple mobile application. But then if your customer is happy with their first mobile application, they'll want more. And then products such as SUP or Gateway can make the difference. These products prodvide a standard development environment, tools to manage the apps and the users etc. With multiple mobile apps connected to multiple back-ends with more and more users, you'll need a middleware to manage all this and make sure the performance is great.
Usually people don't use SUP or Gateway for their first mobile application but then they start to see the benefits of mobility and they want more. And then they start to realize the benefits of these products and they understand that a real mobile strategy has to be defined etc.

Pierre

How do you change the default size of the print batch size for mail merge in Publisher 2010?

I appended this question to another thread with the same topic but have not received a reply, so I'll try with a new question. Publisher 2010, when doing mail merge, will only merge and print two records at a time. How do you change the default size of
the print batch size? This is for a 4 page document, 8 1/2 x 11, printed two sides on 11 x 17. I've tried all the suggestions that were in the other thread. The response that was marked as the answer by the moderator is incorrect and does not work. Nothing
suggested in that thread works. A registry fix that worked for Publisher 2003 won't work because the print batch size key does not exist in the registry for Pub 2010. At least not that I can find. Printing to an XPS document doesn't work. It asks for a filename,
prints 2 records, asks for new file name, prints 2 records, asks for new file name, and so on. The same for printing to a PDF document. Merging to a new Pub document doesn't work. When I print that job every other sheet is turned over. I.e., sheet one has
pages 1 & 3 on top, next sheet has 3 & 4 on top, and so on. This makes it impossible to run them through the folder. The same thing happens when I print that complete merged document to XPS or PDF. I have the latest drivers installed for our printer, a Toshiba
2500C copier/printer connected via network. What do I need to do to to change the batch size to something reasonable, like 100 records?

It's been two weeks since I posted this question. What does it take to get an answer? I cannot believe it's being ignored, nor can I believe that someone in MS doesn't have an answer.

Help needed with Custom Web ADI Integrator for Mail Merge

Hello,
I've created a custom web adi integrator to generate letters to advise of end of probationary periods.
The problem is that at the end of the process when the letter is opened in Word 2007, it only displays one record, and does not allow me to "preview results" and cycle through the records (this part is greyed out). It appears that the letter is not merged with the data spreadsheet although it does display one record from it.
Our EBS version is 12.1.3 and we are using Office 2007.
These are the steps I have followed so far (in brief):
- Create a view to provide data (names, addresses etc).
- Set up a new custom function (similar to seeded function HR Integrator Setup).
- Add the custom function and other functions to Desktop Integration responsibility.
- Add the relevant functions to end user's responsibility menu.
- Add new category "other" to HR_ADI_DOCUMENT_TYPE lookup.
- Create Download Excel Integrator by choosing Desktop Integration -> HR Integrator Setup. Enter "PER" for application and my view for the View Name. Upload.
- Create another Excel document by choosing Desktop Integration -> HR Maintain Form Function Associations, and choose the integrator created above. Enter my custom function name in the generated spreadsheet and upload.
- Define a layout for the new integrator.
- Run the integrator under the end user responsibility and save the resulting spreadsheet, which is full of data as expected.
- Create the letter in Word, using the saved spreadsheet as the data source for the merge. At this point the merge is successful.
- Go to Desktop Integration -> Document Management and upload the Word mail merge document. Associate it with the custom document type created earlier.
- Link this document to my integrator.
- Go in as end user responsibility and run the integrator.
At this point after enabling macros it loads 2 spreadsheets (one full of data) and the Word document, but the Word document only displays one record (approx the 10th in the list - there are about 100 in total). All of the relevant merge-related menu items on the "Mailings" tab are greyed out.
Can anyone offer any pointers please?
I did wonder whether it mattered if I changed the names of documents, e.g when I download and save the resulting spreadsheet full of data which I then use to merge to in the Word Doc, is it OK to call the spreadsheet anything or should it be left as the default name?
Many thanks,
Hazel

Hi Nandhakumar.P,
thanks for your response. Please find the answers below:
- Set up a new custom function (similar to seeded function HR Integrator Setup).
System Administrator -> Application -> Function. Query back the seeded User Function Name = "HR Integrator Setup", make a note of the details, then add a custom function entitled "NTC_HR_LETTERS" with the same details.
- Add the custom function and other functions to Desktop Integration responsibility.
System Administrator -> Application -> Menu. Query back User Menu Name = "Desktop Integration Menu" and add the following functions:
WITHOUT PROMPT
a. HR Integrator Setup
b. HR Maintain Integrator Form Functions
c. HR Disable Integrator
d. HR ADI Document Overwrite Page
e. HR ADI Document Upload Page
f. The custom function created in previous step ("NTC_HR_LETTERS")
WITH PROMPT
g. HR ADI Document Management Page
- Add the relevant functions to end user's responsibility menu.
System Administrator -> Application -> Menu. Query back menu attached to custom responsibility of end user that will perform the action once set up.
Add the following:
a. The custom function "NTC_HR_LETTERS" as created previously (without prompt)
b. Desktop Integration - Create Document (With Prompt. This function will be used to generate letters)
- Add new category "other" to HR_ADI_DOCUMENT_TYPE lookup.
SA_Application Developer -> Application -> Lookups -> Common. Query back Type = HR_ADI_DOCUMENT_TYPE and add a new entry entitled "Other". This document type is later assigned to the Word document I upload and link to the integrator.
I hopoe that answers your questions.
Regards,
Hazel
