To use FoxPro memo files in mail merge documents created in Microsoft Word
version 6.0 for Windows, do the following:
- Create a database with a memo field. Type some information in the memo
field.
- Close the database and start Word version 6.0.
- From the Tools menu, choose Mail Merge, and then choose the Create
button under Main Document. Edit your main document as needed.
- From the Tools menu, choose Mail Merge, choose the Get Data button under
Data Source, and then choose Open Data Source.
- Select "MS FoxPro Files (*.DBF)" from the List Files Of Type box, and
then select the FoxPro database.
NOTE: If "MS FoxPro Files (*.DBF)" is not available, you must install
the data access (ODBC) utilities using the Word Setup program.
- Return to the Word document, choose the Insert Merge Field button, and
the memo field name will appear.
Text from the memo field will take on the attributes of the document it is
being merged into. Word will also reformat the merge document to fit in the
contents of the memo field.
