    Resolved [RESOLVED] WORD: How To: Mail Merge into Text Boxes???

    Esttemed Forum Participants and Lurkers:
    ===============================
    Word 2003 VBA

    Does anyone know if it is possible to MailMerge data into text boxes?

    We have a "picture" that we want to duplicate over 100 times with special information that needs to be positioned on the "picture". It can be done with Mail Merge into a normal Word document, but can it be done by Mail Merging into Text boxes?

    Thank you for any and all comments, suggestions, and assistance.
    Blessings in abundance,
    All the Best,
    & ENJOY!

    Ok, found them. Here are two links where I wrote some code to do mail merges and manipulate/insert images into a word document.

    Thanks RobDog!

    Hey, that's really neat! I guess Text Boxes are just like "sub-documents" ... they hold 'fields' just like any other text in the body of a document! That makes this job one whole lot easier!
