Mail merge problem - Word with Apple Contacts

I can't get Word to access my Apple Contacts book to perform a mail merge. The program just says, "Word was unable to open the data source," when I select Apple Address Book in the mail merge manager. Please help!

I found solution.
In my data source , I have only 1 record.
When calling method merge_range I must indicate 0 in record number and not 1 ( with 1 it worked on our system but not on the customer system : cause in SAP or EXCEL I don't know. )
Fusion données source
      CALL METHOD HANDLE->MERGE_RANGE
        EXPORTING
          FIRST   = 0
          LAST    = 0
        IMPORTING
          ERROR   = error
          RETCODE = retcode.
      clear l_sy.
      CALL METHOD ERROR->GET_MESSAGE
        IMPORTING
          MESSAGE_ID     = l_SY-MSGID
          MESSAGE_NUMBER = l_SY-MSGNO
          PARAM1         = l_SY-MSGV1
          PARAM2         = l_SY-MSGV2
          PARAM3         = l_SY-MSGV3
          PARAM4         = l_SY-MSGV4.

Mail / Merge in WORD with DOI. Error in WORD 'field separator'

I have a program that creates   WORD DOcuments for merging with data.
I use WORD documents created with BDS.
I used program   SAPRDEMO_MAILMERGE_INTERFACE as an example for creating my own program.
When I call METHOD VIEW ,after creating data source and MERGE, I get following error in WORD
   'field separator?. WORD asks which is the separator for field.
whatever separator I indicate, WORD issues an error saying    no record found.
If I execute program   SAPRDEMO_MAILMERGE_INTERFACE, it works.
I don't understand what happens.

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.

Mail merge in word using 10g

hi !
does anyone know how to use mail merge in word in web environment ? I did it using the 9i but i'm not able to do it with 10g...
Thank you..

Well, it looks like I have found another "work around", this time to solve the email account problem (I was also able to solve the attachment problem in another thread). To use a different email account than the main one, create a new profile
(using the preferred email address)from Control Panel, Mail, then choose the selection to prompt for profile. Close Outlook and reopen, when it asks which profile, choose the preferred one, then click on the Send/Receive tab and choose "Work Offline".
Next, import the email list into contacts, and do the mail merge. For me, I also needed to include an attachment, so I used the Outlook Mail Merge Attachment (http://omma.sourceforge.net/)
tool, and it edits all the email in the outbox to attach the item desired. Once done, click on Send/Receive again and choose "Work Online". Now click the Send/Receive All Folders button and you're done.
This was a huge undertaking for me, and I have been researching this for TWO days. Nobody was able to offer any suggestions from any of the forums I went to, so perhaps these solutions should be disseminated through the forums for others to benefit.

Email PDF from Mail Merge Problem

Using a data source of email addresses from Excel 2003 and performing a mail merge in Word 2003 with the Mail Merge to Adobe PDF button, everything worked okay and the emails generated to the outbox in Outlook 2003 with the relevant PDFs attached. However, once they were mailed the recipients who use Outlook Express had the attachments missing. I'm using Acrobat 8.1.5
I've seen previous queries about this and it seems to relate to Outlook using a RTF format. I set Outlook to default to html and then plain text formats but still had the same problem. Can anyone suggest how I can solve this or if the problem is Outlook related, then another email program that would work without causing this problem (preferable freeware or inexpensive).
Thanks

Just an interesting after thought, since you mentioned blocking. Several federal agencies and companies block zip files also. I ran onto a message recently about the university blocking zip files at one time because of a problem. Mail merge files are typically personalized and it would be nice for them to go intact. If they re not personalized, but just being sent in general, then posting the basic file and e-mailing a link might work better. For a lot of things I do, I just use the mail merge that is built into my e-mail client. That creates a mail-merge of messages that are personalized.
Just thought the blocking comment might be of interest, though I give the same advice. I am not sure how it could be done with zip in a mail merge sense.

Access 2013 crashes after mail merge in Word 2013

We have several Word templates that query an Access database to populate themselves. After the mail merge is complete, when we close Word then Access immediately crashes every time. This started after upgrading from Office 2003 to 2013. We tried updating
the Word Doc to 2013 but then it would not connect to the data source at all. Last, we also tried to Compact and Repair the database with no luck.
We searched for an Access Hot Fix but could not find anything that matches our issue. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Use a table or query as the data source
Open the source database, and in the Navigation Pane, select the table or query that you want use as the mail merge data source.
On the External Data tab, in the Export group, click
More , and then click Merge it with Microsoft Office Word .
The Microsoft Word Mail Merge Wizard starts.
Select whether you want to create the link in an existing document or in a new document, and then click
OK.
If you chose to link to an existing document, in the Select Microsoft Word Document dialog box, locate and select the file, and then click
Open.
Word starts. Depending on your choice, Word opens either the document you specified or a new document.
In the Mail Merge pane, under Select document type, click
Letters and then click Next: Starting document to continue to step 2.
In step 2, click Next: Select recipients.
In step 3, you create the link between the data source in Access and the Word document. Because you started the wizard from Access, this link is created automatically. Under
Select recipients, note that Use an existing list is selected, and the name of your data source is displayed under
Use an existing list.
Click Edit recipient list if you want to customize the contents of the table or query.
You can filter, sort, and validate the data. Click OK to continue.
Click Next: Write your letter to continue. Follow the remaining instructions in the
Mail Merge pane, and in step 5, click Next: Complete the merge.
Other ways to use a table or query as the data source
You can specify a table or query as a data source in additional ways. For example, you can export the table or query from Access to an ODBC database, a Microsoft Office Excel 2013 file, a text file, or any other file format that is compatible with Word,
and then link to the resulting file by using the Word Mail Merge Wizard.
If you have not already exported the table or query , do so. In Access, in the Navigation Pane, select the table or query that you want to use, and on the
External Data tab, in the Export group, click the format you want to export to, and then follow the instructions.
In Word, if the Mail Merge pane is not displayed, on the
Mailings tab, in the Start Mail Merge group, click the arrow under
Start Mail Merge, and then click Step by Step Mail Merge Wizard. The
Mail Merge pane appears.
In step 3 of the Mail Merge pane, under Use an existing list, click
Browse or Edit recipient list.
In the Select Data Source dialog box, specify the data file that you created in Access, and then click
Open.
Follow the instructions in any dialog boxes that follow. In the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box, review and customize the contents of the file. You can filter, sort, and validate the contents before you continue.
Click OK, and then click Next: Write your letter in the
Mail Merge pane. For more instructions on customizing your mail merge, see Word Help.

Mail Merge for Word - Limitations?

I have been searching for information on the Mail Merge for Word in the help files and tutorials. I am trying to verify the limitations, such as
Can Lotus Notes be used to send the email? (I am 90% sure we have to use Outlook, however I would like to clarify)
How many emails can you send?
Are there any other limitations I should be aware of?

I have confirmed on the Lotus Notes question.
I installed the Mail Merge for Word Template on a machine that only had Lotus Notes as an email client. When I choose to send an email, it gave only the option to "Merge to Document".
So The answer would be that Outlook is required to send emails with Mail Merge for Word.

Can I sync Outlook 2011 with Apple contacts in the latest Mavericks like I used to do in OSX 10.8.5?

Can I sync Outlook 2011 with Apple contacts in the latest Mavericks like I used to do in OSX 10.8.5?

I might suggest you send links to download the attachments via DropBox or other similar source rather than include in an email.
Example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vqyrdv4zblhjt7o/ShowLibraryMavericks.png
Have you looked at adding the attachements at the end of the message. Under Edit in the Mail Menu bar select Attachments.
Attachment Tamer might be worth a look but attachements are always going to be in the body part of the message.

I purchased a MyBook Studio 4gb external hard drive. I can't get it to work properly. WD have assessed it and say its fine and that the problem is with Apple?

I purchased a MyBook Studio 4gb external hard drive. I can't get it to work properly. WD have assessed it and say its fine and that the problem is with Apple? Any ideas?

Hello EucaBlue!
So in Disk Utility, with the external harddrive selected, go to the Partition tab, and then under "Partition Layout:" select 1 Partition.
After than, verify that it is formatting the drive as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) under "Partition Information"
Also verify that it's using using the GUID Partition Map under the Options button at the lower left of this window.
Then click apply and confirm that you want to format the drive. It will ask you if you're sure, and probably for an Administrator password.
Once your harddrive is formatted properly, you should be able to use Time Machine, or any other Mac backup software.
Happy tinkering!

What is the best mail account to use with Apple Mail?

Hi All, I am a recent convert to Mac from a PC and I am on a sharp learning curve. At present I am trying to use mail on Leapord. I have a Googlemail account which I have tried linking to Apple mail but I seem to get the same issue many others have with send e-mails. What is more, googlmail's All Mail facility is doing my nut in at the moment.
Therefore I was wondering what is the best mail account to use with Apple Mail? I only have a Mackbook and an i-pod nano so subscribing to mobile me at £58/yr just to get the @mac.com account (which I assume would be perfect) seems a little extreme for me.
Are their any other account that work correctly and don't have this All Mail option.
Thanking you in advance.
Matthew

Hi,
I have 2 issues.
1) I have mail 3.6 and when I set up the mail account via IMAP and STMP I recieve mails ok, but I can not send them. If I do I get the following window pop up.
"can not send message using smtp.googlemail.com server" it tells me my address was rejected by the server.
2) I have 2500 e-mails in my All Mails folder on googlemail. Nearly all of these I delete from my inbox years ago (my bad mailbox management). Google seems to store all my mails. I want to delete these permentaly as they also get downloaded into Apple Mail.
Hope you can help.
Matt

Mail Question, What e-mail servers are compatible with Apple Mail?

Not sure which forum to post this in, so excuse me if this is the wrong place.
What e-mail servers are compatible with Apple Mail? I'm new to Mac and apparently my hotmail accounts don't seem to work. What about Yahoo or Gmail?
Thanks,
Alina

What e-mail servers are compatible with Apple Mail?
Those that use either of the IMAP or POP3 protocols.
What about Yahoo or Gmail?
Gmail and Yahoo Plus will work; standard Yahoo won't. Click here for more information.

Problem with Mail Merge in Word 2007 and Outlook 2007

Hi,
I just found out about the function to generate mail merged PDFs and send them via email. I tried that using Outlook 2007 as the email client, but it seems to me that Acrobat generates RTF emails instead of plain text. That causes many email clients, except Outlook, just to display a file called winmail.dat instead of the actual PDF file.
I already checked the settings in Outlook and made sure that new mails are started in plain text mode. If I do this manually the email becomes plain test. But not automatically with Acrobat.
Does anybody have a solution on that? I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9.1.
Best regards,
Johannes

Hi andré, I guess the issue is coming from the fact that you selected "AllPartiesInvolved" and that may contain any numbers of entries. So when you test your webservice, you put a key and then get a result for that key, and in that case you might get "element1" until "element3" for example if there was 3 partners involved in you activity.
But, when you design your template, you don't have a key at that moment, so in the Web Service structure, you have "items" which stands for all the possible entries you might retrieve at runtime. I guess you could use an index in your template to specify which item you need, but this is quite hasardeous, so i would be you, I would not design my web service to use "AllPartiesInvolved" but rather a specific Partner type like contact person for instance.
Regards,
Xavier
