Format Tools - Run MS Word Merge

The Run MS Word Merge Tool is used to create a Task Step that creates single or multiple documents in common Microsoft Word formats containing merged data. The Tool requires no global settings.

MS Word documents or templates that contain mail merge fields are imported into the Tool. These are then automatically read from the document by the Tool and presented in a table. Each mail merge field may then either be mapped to TaskCentre variables, formulas and columns or left to use the mail merge data source specified in the document. The mail merge data source may also be imported into the TaskCentre database.

The Run MS Word Merge Tool can therefore operate in mixed mapping mode if necessary, combining the data source specified in the document and data from TaskCentre.

These documents can then be delivered using many of the Output Steps such as Send Message (SMTP) as body and/or attachment, Send SMS (M:Science SMS Server), Send Fax(Tobit), File Transfer (FTP), Save As File and Print Document.
