Labels in word merged from appleworks

I can not do a fucntion that I have done many times before. After opening Data scource I get a screen for data convert. I use to get a set up screen. Then set up label and merged. Any help out there?

As far as I know we where never allowed to merge datas from Word in AppleWorks.
First thing to do is to import your Word datas in an AppleWorks database.

Word merge from Access 2010

Hi, I want to be able to set the mail merge data source and get 'Object variable or With block variable not set in procedure...' at this line
With wordDocument
.MailMerge.OpenDataSource _
Name:=gDbapp.Name, _
ConfirmConversions:=False, ReadOnly:=False, LinkToSource:=True, _
AddToRecentFiles:=False, PasswordDocument:="", PasswordTemplate:="", _
WritePasswordDocument:="", WritePasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, _
Format:=wdOpenFormatAuto, _
connection:=connectionString, _
SQLStatement:="SELECT * FROM 'qWordMergeDataSource' WHERE wmdsPrintId='" & sessionID & "'", _
SQLStatement1:="", SubType:=wdMergeSubTypeAccess
I have recorded a macro in Word to do this and the code snippet above is taken from this.
Do you have any suggestions or recommendation to resolve this issue?
Many thanks,

Hi, sorry about the delay in responding.
I should mention that the template is typically only opened from Access.
When I use the Immediate window to examine the parts of the connection string and document properties, valid values are printed.
I'm wondering whether part of the issue is that the connection string is limited to 255 characters. I have been adjusting the connection string to test whether a different combination makes any difference. No joy.
connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;" & _
"User ID=Admin;" & _
"Data Source=" & gDbapp.Name & ";" & _
"Mode=Read;" & _
"Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=6;" & _
"Jet OLEDB:Database Locking Mode=1;" & _
"Jet OLEDB:Global Partial Bulk Ops=2;" & _
"Jet OLEDB:Global Bulk Transactions=1;" ' & _
"Jet OLEDB:Support Complex Data=False;" & _
' "Extended Properties=" & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ";" & _
' "Jet OLEDB:Create System Database=False;" & _
' "Jet OLEDB:SFP=False;" & _
' "Jet OLEDB:System database=" & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ";" & _
' "Jet OLEDB:Registry Path=" & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ";" & _
' "Jet OLEDB:New Database Password=" & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ";" & _
' "Jet OLEDB:Encrypt Database=False;" & _
' "Jet OLEDB:Don't Copy Locale on Compact=False;" & _
' "Jet OLEDB:Compact Without Replica Repair=False;" & _
' "Jet OLEDB:Bypass UserInfo Validation=False"
Actually when changing the combination of connection string arguments I get the following error
I am wondering whether this is the inner error? That is, I am running the access application that this template is wanting to use as a data source and the database is running in exclusive mode. I have tried 0 and 1 for the setting of
Jet OLEDB:Database Locking Mode=1;
But changing the setting to 0 does not change the outcome. Could running is exclusive mode be the cause and is there a workaround?
Many thanks,
Jonathan

Having problems using mail merge from address book to word for labels

I've downloaded and opened avery labels to word and would now like to merge an address book from my mac.
When I get to the Mail Merge Manager and go to 'get list', my address book is not accessible.
I'm sure there's a simple way to do this but have not been successful googling or using the help options on both
pages and address book.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi shaun
Looks like Pages '08 works the same as the previous version. You can't get data from multiple cards in one document. Try using Address Book's native label printing feature.
Good luck!

Mail Merge from Microsoft Word 2010 to "Individual" PDF documents.

Hi Adobe brothers and sisters,
I need help with this one.
I'm Mail Merging over 300 letters and each letter has seven pages. What I'm currently doing is mail merging from Excel to Word then printing it into a single PDF document. Once printed, I select each seven pages and then reprinting in PDF with the name its intended for? This is very time consuming and hoping there is an easier way.
Is there a way to save each individual PDF documents (each letter) and have them labeled by a specific name listed on the letter intended for (eg: surname) without going through this lengthy process.
Regards,

I've developed a tool that will allow you to extract each group of 7 pages
into a single file with just a few clicks. See:
http://try67.blogspot.com/2012/01/acrobat-extract-groups-of-pages.html
However, the file names of the generated files will be generic. If you want
to use some text from the pages themselves in the file names, that might be
possible, but would require a more complex script. Contact me personally to
discuss it further.

I find the Word (Office 4 Mac 2011) seriously flawed in creating labels in WORD from Excel database; any comments?

I have used the "mailmerge" functions in Snow Leopard with Office 2004 on many previous situations.
With Mountain Lion and Office 2011, I am not finding success in using "mailmerge" to create labels using WORD and an Excel database.
All is well until Mail Merge Manager asks:
          get Recit List
          Convert file from .......
          "choose Excel Wowrkbook"     (I have chosen each of the listed choices with same result)
          ALERT reads Excel Workbook text converter     check OK if from trusted source
          ALERT reads There was an error opening the file.
I have checked with the Microsoft online instructions and followed them to the "letter"; with the same disappointing results.

I have always exported the addresses to a comma-delimited file first, then merged. That may be worth a try.

Can I use my Address Book to create a data base and then merge from it to create mailing labels?

Is it possible to use my Address Book to create a data base and then merge from it to create mailing labels?
Thanks,
CF

I know one way, it is not elegant but it does work.
1. Open Thunderbird. (download here: https://www.mozilla.org/EN/thunderbird/)
2. Click on Address Book.
3. On the left in the new window is a list of your Address books and groups. Select the one you want.
Your addresses will appear to the right.
4. In Thunderbird / Tools select Export, and Save as "Comma Separated".
You can open that list of addresses in Excel or in FileMaker Pro. Mail merge proceeds from there.

Email merge from Word to apple mail

Hi
I like using word ot merge data such as letters but use apple mail as main email application. Does anyone know if it's possibel to email merge from word to be sent by apple mail?

You're more likely to get a response by posting in a Word forum rather than a Pages discussion group.

Can't print from Appleworks 6

My wife's computer is a G4 Sawtooth, running OSX 10.2. Printer is an Epson Stylus Photo R220. All of the sudden, we can't print from Appleworks word processing. When we try, the printer window from the Print Center says that it's opening communications with the printer for a bit, but after a short time stops the printer and quits trying. The thing is, we can print from MS Word. Also, this computer is networked to my G4 ibook (10.3.9), which has an Epson Stylus Photo 825 attached. Using printer sharing, I can print through Appleworks to the Stylus 825 from the Sawtooth.
This is a sudden onset problem. Yesterday she could use the R220. Today she can't. I've tried reinstalling the printer driver, with no effect.
At about the same time, in what may or may not be a related problem, I stopped being able to print from either computer to my HP laserjet 4050tn, which is on an ethernet print server. Reinstall doesn't help.
I had an intel mini whose harddrive died attached to the network. The mini is still out for repair, but I've also used both of these printers successfully since the mini was disconnected.
Any ideas?
duo core mini; ibook G4: G4 Sawtooth Mac OS X (10.2.x) Epson Stylus Photo R220 printer

Sudden onset of problems is a sure sign of corrupt preferences. Printing problems are among many that may be cured by deleting the AppleWorks preferences. See my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for more information.

Can't print from AppleWorks

I have a template I set up in AppleWorks several years back to print addresses on Avery-type labels. I just tried to print one, but nothing happened. I looked in the printer utility (Canon iP90) window, and the job appears there, but says "Stopped". I clicked the Resume button there, and nothing happened; I clicked the Resume button again, and a dialog appeared: "Operation could not be completed. client-error-not-possible".
I created a new AppleWorks WP document, with just a few letters typed in it, and tried to print it; same result: it appears in the print utility window as "Stopped".
Finally, I tried making a PDF of the document I want to print, opened it in Preview, and tried to print it; the first couple of times it just fed the paper through without printing, while this message appeared in the print utility window: "/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/PrintJobMgr/Contents/MacOS/PrintJobMgr failed". The third time the same message appeared, but it printed (on test paper). The fourth time, I put the label sheet in, and it printed as normal, without the error message.
Maybe there's something screwy about the printer software -- though I've had no problem printing from other applications. But I do recall having trouble printing from AppleWorks before; I think since I moved to 10.5. Has anyone else had problems printing from AppleWorks?

Thanks for the responses. I don't have time at the moment to make further tests, but I also have a Canon MP610, and will try printing to it when I can. I "moved to 10.5" some time back from 10.4 by erasing my HD and installing fresh, as I usually do with major upgrades, then downloaded the latest drivers for my printers from the Canon website. It may be that the driver for the iP90 is corrupted, though as I said I've had no problems printing from other apps, e.g. TextEdit, Preview. I don't print often.
I expect to be moving up to 10.6, now that the font problems have apparently finally been solved, within a week or so; from Apple's list of printer drivers for 10.6, it appears the one they have is newer than the one on the Canon site (v.10.30.3.0 vs. 10.26.1.0), and I gather that 10.6 installs only the drivers needed (rather than the whole gigabyte package) so I'll go with that one and see how it works with AppleWorks.
Of course, eventually I'll have to move out of AppleWorks entirely, though I still wish it had been properly updated for OS X, rather than replaced with iWork, which may be very slick but lacks much of AW's sophistication and ease of use.

Word merge with MS_WORD_OLE_FORMLETTER

We want to do a word-merge with MS_WORD_OLE_FORMLETTER, having two datasets (in internal tables) and making two documents in one run (to make sure all selections are the same). When trying this the word-template-document (or how do you call that) has to be openen beforehand and before being able to make the second document we have to close the first and open the second template.
Has anyone have an idea what might be wrong ? What parameters can influence this behaviour ?
Thanks.
Kris

Hi Graham,
Did you receive any error message ? some thing like 40552 : The session has been
terminated because of excessive transaction log space usage. etc., Please share if any to isolate the issue.

Opening Word documents with Appleworks

I often receive Word documents as email attachments (though my hotmail account). I can download these Word documents to my desktop but when I click on them to open them I get an offer to purchase MS Word (which I do not have). I would like to be able to simply open the Word documents with Apple works--and I am hoping I can just click on them and have that happen automatically. But it doesn't. I have tried opening Appleworks and going into the wordprocessing program and then opening the Word document through that, but it only is successful part of the time. What can I do? I would like to have these Word douments open automatically in Appleworks but every time I click on them (i.e., their icon on my desktop) I get that advertisement from Microsoft asking me to buy Word. Is this ad blocking a normal function of Appleworks that would otherwise allow me to open Word documents with a click? And in any case, how can I proceed?

The ad for Word is almost certainly being tacked on through or at Hotmail (taglines or adware from Hotmail? Hoodathunk .....) ; it sure isn't coming from AppleWorks or from anything on your own system, unless you have that demo copy of Office still lurking somewhere. I suppose it could come from that, somehow.
Assuming you can get a clean attachment downloaded to your Desktop from Hotmail, the procedure for having what you want to happen automatically is fairly straightforward and, really, has nothing at all to do with Appleworks. Try the following:
--> Select (highlight) one of those downloaded .doc files from Word, then
--> use the Finder's Get Info command (⌘-I). In the window which appears,
--> see the "Open with" section, and set it to AppleWorks.

CPU Usage - Generating Word Docs from RoboHelp X5

If you have generated a fair-sized document through RoboHelp,
and you are having problems with your CPU usage pegging out around
100%, bouncing up and down between 50% and 100%, the page
repainting as you scroll through the document, etc., this solution
is for you!
I am using RoboHelp X5 to generate large Word documents
(2003). This solution worked perfect for me. The problem is with
document corruption, apparently. After you have generated your Word
document and opened the document, be sure to display the paragraph
marks. You will probably see the “]” mark at or near
the end of the document. Select your entire document,
except for the final paragraph mark, making sure to exclude
this symbol, and copy everything else. Open a blank Word document
and paste this content into the new document.
You will now need to reattach your template (.dot) file for
the generated document through Tools/Templates and Addins:
1. Locate the applicable document template and attach it
(it's typically in the base generated project directory in RoboHelp
- .dot file). Click the OK button to save.
2. Return to Tools/Templates and Addins. Click the Organizer
button to display the Styles tab.
3. In the right-hand list (In Normal.dot), Close the
Normal.dot file
4. Open the same RoboHelp .dot template as you selected
previously.
4. Select all of the styles once they display in the right
pane and click the <<Copy button to copy them all over to the
document template. Confirm that you want to replace all styles in
the document.
5. Close the menu using the Close button. The dialog closes
and your styles should all be updated, if your styles were set up
appropriately via template and style sheet settings.
You may need to also adjust the Page Setup page width
settings, if necessary.
Good luck!

Peter:
Thank you for responding to me, as I may not have been clear
enough, and I apologize for that. I was trying to keep it short and
sweet. This problem started when I began using RoboHelp X5 this
year.
To clarify...
- I'm not concerned with CPU usage during document
generation, that is to be expected. The document will need to be
generated originally from a RoboHelp WebHelp project. This does not
change. The problem takes place AFTER you generate a large document
and then open it in MS Word.
- My documents are large, 140-500 pages. It took forever to
scroll through the Word document (RoboHelp-generated), the screen
kept repainting, and the CPU usage stuck fluctuating frequently
between 50% and 100%, not allowing me to do much else. Editing
those documents was a nightmare. Even if I shut down all other
programs.
- Something translates to the Word doc from RoboHelp that
maxes out the CPU usage, and I can't locate the exact culprit.
However, it appears to be tied to the faded "]" symbol at the end
of the document (there is a "[" at the beginning, too). So you have
to omit more than the last paragraph mark; that symbol also needs
to be left out.
- The "corruption" information came from Microsoft; it could
be something other than that, but this is what they said. I found
nothing that would help on the RoboHelp forum, so I went to
Microsoft to see if they had a solution. Apparently, this is a
common problem with Word 2003, but the articles didn't mention
RoboHelp in the issues. I tried this solution, adding the omission
of the "[" symbol, with complete success.
- When you copy the document without the last paragraph mark,
it will still include the headers/footers when you paste it
(although you may need to adjust them slightly). This is not the
problem.
- When a document is generated, you can select to use a MS
Word template, which I do. I fully use the style sheets in
RoboHelp, and they match my Word styles (template) to keep things
in sync. Actually, this Word template remains in the project; it is
not moved to the folder that holds your Normal.dot file. So the
link to the template in RoboHelp from your document does in fact
remain intact. However, you can copy that template to another
folder outside the project and link it from there, but it won't
matter.
- The Word template (.dot) needs to be reapplied in order to
restore your styles, as the Normal.dot styles are applied when you
copy the content over to a new document. It doesn't matter where
you store the template. I reapply this SAME template after I copy
and paste the content into the new document. This is not the cause
of the problem. Note: The application of a template is not the same
thing as going back to the master copy. This is still a fresh
document, with the content pasted in and the same template applied.
- I have tried deleting the local copy and starting over. I
have moved the file to another location. I have renamed or created
a 'save-as' copy of the file. I tried editing out any extra
un-necessary merge-tags in Word, looked for macros, etc. All of
these things do not resolve the CPU Usage problem.
I hope this makes more sense. You can try it out if you wish,
but you will need to do this with a large document and use the
Print View when looking at the document in Word. You'll have less
of a problem in Normal View, or with a smaller document (under 50
pages).
Good luck!

Why is the word count different when I use word count from the tools menu to the number at the bottom of my mac word document

Why is the word count different when I use word count from the tools menu to the number at the bottom of my mac word document

This forum is for Apple's defunct office suite 'AppleWorks' - since the word count is not in the places you mention I assume you are talking about Microsoft Word? Though it's just possible someone in this forum might also use Word and know the answer, you would stand a higher chance of getting an answer in Microsoft's own forums. You could also try asking in the forum applicable to your operating system - Lion, Mavericks or whatever - on the reasonably chance of finding someone familiar with Word.

HT5248 how do I import an Appleworks document from Appleworks 6 PC power support is not supported

I am unable to access some appleworks 6 documents saved onto a flash drive. I was told pages would fix this and I downloaded the software.
I don't know how to access the information, just clicking on the document on my flash drive still gives me the same error message "Appleworks PC power6 is not supported.

Did you install Pages? Drag the word document from your flash drive onto your desktop. Then try double clicking it or launch Pages and choose "Open" in the file menu. Note: Pages can read word documents; Numbers can read spreadsheets, but nothing can read painting documents. If you still have access to a Snow Leopard installation, I'd open them there and then save them in another format.

PDFs from Appleworks won't print - OS X 10.4.9

I use Appleworks 6 and regularly create print files as PDFs from the print dialog box. Until I updated to 10.4.9, these PDF files printed without exception. Now, however, none of the files newly created by this application will print. (Other such PDFs, say created from Safari or Mail messages, do print.) My printer is an Apple LaserWriter 16/600 with 32 MB memory.
The green "busy" light on the LW flashes; when I check the print status, it says it is "processing job", with the word "Printing" shown next to the file name. Yet nothing is happening at the printer (except the flashing green light). No matter how long I let this job "process", nothing ever prints.
To free up the printer, I must delete the file from the job list, turn the printer off for a minute or so, turn it back on, then I can print files directly from Appleworks, other PDFs, etc.
Files created under 10.4.8 from Appleworks (to PDF) printed just fine, as one would expect. Anyone having the same problem?
iMac Intel 20" Core duo (not Core 2 duo) Mac OS X (10.4.9) Apple LW 16/600 printer; Acrobat 8; Reader 8; Appleworks 6.2.9

Is there any information in Console's cups log (/var/log/cups) that looks helpful?
