Templates

Hi,

I have a word template with a header and a footer plus some mail merge fields.

I use document.MailMerge.ExecuteGroup to fill the fields. Then I call document.Save to prompt a dialog allowing the user to save the file. Everything works great except for the fact that I lose the contents of the Header and the Footer! Be it images or text, it doesn't show...

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

I created a template with a header and footer plus some mail merge fields and filled the fields using document.MailMerge.ExecuteGroup. But I was not able to reproduce the issue [lose the contents of the Header and the Footer]. Here is the test sample that I used to test this issue.

MailMerge.zip

Here is the output of the sample:

Could you please take a look at the sample above and kindly let me know if you still find any problem, if not could you please modify this sample so that I can reproduce the issue. This would help me in investigating this issue further.

Thanks,
Melba

Hi,

I found what the issue was. The header and footer work fine as you say, however as soon as I add the € character to my footer (which is the case in my template), everything disapears!

How do I avoid that?

Thank you,
Jonathan
