Mail Merge Application

In Mail Merge application, I tried the following but on both ocassions kept getting error :
1. Created document in WORDPAD and saved it as RTF
2. Opened MS-WORD and saved it as RTF document
What is the procedure for creating new document ?

Scott: Thats fine, I am just trying to understand the concepts.
As someone else said, the Wordpad on Windows 2000 doesnt put that Msftedit string in the RTF header preamble. Darn Microsoft! :)
Some more questions..You have
l_rtf_body := substr(l_clob_content,length(clob_content)-(l_rtf-header_length+4));
What is the reason for the number "4" above?
Also, this wont work for RTF files larger than 32K since that is the limit for strings in PL/SQL, right? Any ideas to workaround this?
Also, sometimes the find_rtf_header function fails to find the header and I get a 'Function returned without a value' error. Any ideas?
Regarding the Content-Disposition, yes, if I open the file directly from the browser it works fine (because I guess it uses the mime type and not the file extension), but when I save it to disk, its name is #OWNER#.mail_merge. Double-clicking on this is obviously not going to open it! But I added a 'Content-Disposition' header with the name I wanted and it works fine.
Thanks

Hi,
Welcome to MSDN.
I am afraid that issues related to VB6 are not supported in these forums, you could check that thread :

In addition, you could post issues related to Office 365 which are not related to VB6

How to use "Mail Merge for Word" to include only Account fields?

We're attempting to use the Mail Merge for Word template to create a document containing several fields from the Account object. We do not need any fields from the Contact object, and there are many contacts linked to each account.
When choosing "Get On Demand Data > Accounts", removing all the [Contacts] fields, selecting the necessary [Accounts] fields, then clicking "OK", a "List Download in Progress" window appears, followed by one that says "Microsoft Word - Subscript out of range". None of the [Accounts] fields are available in the downloaded data.
Can anyone tell me how to include the appropriate Account fields without any Contact fields (which pulls a separate Merge record for every Contact linked with the selected Account)?
Thanks.

Thanks for trying to help with this.
So far, we've been unable to pull even a SINGLE account record. So the problem is not related to data volume limitations. The tool seems to require that Contacts are selected, but for this application we only want a single merge document per Account.
If anyone else has had success using the Mail Merge for Word tool to pull only Account data, please give us your guidance. Thanks.

Is there a way to Automate or Script the Mail Merge Feature in iWorks?

Hello,
I've been trying to build a production management system slowly over the last few months, my boss is a bit of a technophobe so I've been trying as hard as i can to keep everything in familiar programs, at its core all the system has to do its take information in from Purchase Orders, this is added to a Numbers File, within that numbers file are our Open Order Book showing All orders and 2 "Merge Sheets" all new Orders are Added to the Merge Sheets then onto the Open Order Sheet, those "merge sheets" are then used as a data source for a Pages file "Job Card" (we have 2 job card files once blue one yellow but the process is the same)
Up until now I've been manually merging each time we get a new order, but this happens a lot so what I've been trying to do is Automate the procedure.
Ive created 2 Automator Apps each runs the same sequence just for the two different Job cards as follows:
Get finder Item "Job_Card_Blue/Yellow" > Open Finder Item > a "watch me do" of mail merge > Print > Close Application without saving
The Problem is the Watch me do is a bit of a clunky work around, if I could make it work without the mouse moving over the screen it wouldn't be so bad, even if I could somehow give Mail Merge a Keyboard Short Cut it would also be better.
So my questions, after a large ammount of waffling:
1) is there a way i can "see" and then edit the "watch me do" Script?
2) is there a simpler work around im not seeing?
3) is there an existing script of program I can use? (obviously i know there is Filemaker etc, if it was up to me I'd use a Database, but the owner of company is adimant i use office or easy programs, becuase it needs to be a system i can leave to him once my contract is up)
Any Help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Yes I've created an Automator Application that does the job, but the "watch me do" function that does the Mail Merge is a rather Clunkey work around, as the mouse moves all over the place, thats the part i want to remove and replace with a script, or work out a different way around it that avoids the "watch me do" function.
Is this Possible? or where/who is there i can ask to write me a script, im not a novice to scripting, but i am a novice to Applescript.

Anyone been able to get mail merge to work?

I have a standard form that is currently being filled out
manually, we would like to add it to our intranet so it could be
filled out and submitted electronically. I have Ben Forta's book
"Advanced Macromedia Coldfusion: Application Development Kit" and
found the section where he talks about how to achieve this, but for
some reason it just wont work on my system.
I have Coldfusion 6.1 running locally and Word 2003 loaded.
I have tried many many ways and have worked on just getting
each step to work. It seems that the page will hang if it has to
open a Mail merge main document. It will open a normal document and
then I can pull text from that document and output it to the page,
but I want to be able to open a mail merge document and have it
perform a merge using either a text file or an access database as
the data source. I am hoping that someone out there can shed some
light on my problem. Thanks for reading, sorry it is kind of a
lengthy explanation.....

How to get pages ver 5 mail merge to work using numbers as a data source

As a long time user of MS Word and Excel, I use the mail mail merge feature to create invoices by merging client contact info into the invoice template. At the end of Nov-2013, I changed to a new-to-me MBP-15. After purtchasing and downloading Pages, Numbers and Keynotes, I had difficulty using my Word/Excel files as a merge in Pages and Numbers. Apple support has told me that the feature no longer works in Pages/Numbers version 5 in the OS 10.9 op-sys. What a BIG disappointment. I've begun to find some work arounds, but they are a pain in the @$$.
Does anyone have any updates on this issue?
Has anyone found a simple to use work around?
Any help is appreciated.

Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.
Peter

In Pages 09 we can do Mail Merge and Import Styles from a document. Can someone please explain how we can do this with the new version of Pages 5.1. Even Apple solutions are only valid for Pages Version 09. What a DOWN GRADE!

…and the other 98 missing features.
Just use Pages '09, which should be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store.

How can I mail merge in new Pages 5.2 and send it by Mail?

     How can I merge mail in the new Pages version 5.2 and send it by Mail?
     It seems that there is not a mail merger available anymore for Pages. Although it is a powerfull mecanism to send a bunch of letters by Mail, Apple has downgraded themselves by excluding this feature from this app. What is the solution to this problem?
     Should i seek a Microsoft program to resolve this issue, because the new version of pages simply will not cut it without these necessary features.

If you have the previous version of Number and Pages you can still use those applications to perform a mail merge. Neither the previous version nor the latest version support mass emailing. There are other applications that can do that.
Using my favorite search engine I was able to identify several services that can perform a mass email campaign:
I used the search term: "mass email service"

How do you mail merge in the new pages?

I have a pages document that I merge with an informational spreadsheet for real estate brochures in our office. However, I can't find a mail merge option anywhere in the newest version of pages. Does anyone know a way around this?
Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Sadly, you can't. One of many features removed.
Apple is now directing users to still use Pages 4.3, which is in am iWork folder within your Applications folder.
In the meantime, rate on the App Store and leave Feedback to let them know what you need:

Pages 5.1 - mail merge???

Is it true?!? no mail merge in pages 5.1???
how do i solve it?!? I need to print labels (about 300) from a Numbers sheet ...

Yes, it's true. There are several threads on the subject in this forum.
There were 100+ features that didn't make it into the "new & improved, rewritten from the ground up” Pages 5. Some have returned with the updates & there are some new features that are worthwhile, but there are still 90+ features missing. Leave feedback for the Pages team using the link in the Pages menu and review & rate the new versions in the Mac App Store.
As for solving the problem, use Pages 4.3. If you previously had iWork '09, those apps are still in your Applications folder in a folder named iWork '09 unless you deliberately deleted them.

Word Mail Merge using Powershell

Hi all,
I'm working on a script that automates account creation and notification for our students. I've completed a significant chunk of the script and have it successfully creating AD accounts and e-mailing students their credentials to access our system from
a batch job that runs nightly. I want to add an additional part that will create a document using a Microsoft word template that is associated with a CSV file that the script will be populating each day it runs. The goal is to create a mail merged PDF that
I can give to our admissions folks that has all the pertinent information for students to login. They will put these documents in their admissions packets or hand them to new students so they can login to the student system. I think I'm almost there as
I can get word to create a PDF of the template. The only problem is I have no idea how to get it to execute the mail merge so that the pdf contains the actual data I need it to. Currently all I end up with is an export of the template itself in PDF
format.
I'm sure the problem with this is that I'm having trouble calling the .net functions for Word via powershell. Online I see various documents on how to do this with vb.net however Powershell instructions seem to not exist. I'm sure the actions are quite similar
but I need some help. Here is the section of the code I have currently:
$filename = "EmailTemplate1.dotx"
$filename2 = "EmailTemplateProc.pdf"
$word=new-object -com Word.Application
$doc=$word.Documents.Add($filename)
$word.Visible=$False
$word.ActiveDocument.Fields.Update()
$doc.WdMailMergeDestination.wdSendToNewDocument
$word.ActiveDocument
$Doc.saveas([ref] $filename2, [ref] 17)
$Doc.close()
$word.Quit()
I'm sure the problem lies somewhere at the $doc.WdMailMergeDestination and onward. Basically I want it to take the dotx file which already has the templated document with mail merged fields and save an executed mail merge as a PDF. Any insight
would be great.
Thanks in advance!

Not quite sure about that command line thing. I looked all through the support doc you posted and see nothing mentioning executing a mail merge via the command line. Is there something else i'm missing here? Can it be done with a macro?
Like I posted. As how to do a mail merge in the Word forum. You can run a macro from the command line or you can trigger the merge from a startup macro. The macros will reside in a template which will be specified on the command line
alone with the new document name and location.
You can create the macro in a minute with the macro recorder.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Mail merge using PDF file and Excel spreadsheet

How do I mail merge an existing PDF file (the template) with a 50-record text file exported from Excel to create 50 PDFs? I am using Adobe Acrobat XI. I could not find anything under TOOLS | FORMS that would allow me to do a mail merge. I was able to import the text file but it only produced one record.
Since this is a pre-designed legal document, I do not want to recreate the PDF file in MS Word, then perform the mail merge in Word to PDF.
From my online research it seems I will be forced to purchase an Acrobat plugin to perform this simple task.
Am I simply overlooking something?
Thanks.

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
