Hi
I'm trying to use an XML file as a data source for mailmerging in Word 2003
However When I try and open it via the datasources button it does not open
it and asks me what is it delimited by !
Ultimately I want to automate this via COM from another application and have
done this so far using CSV files which works fine
When I use the OpenDataSource method I am passing wdOpenFormatText to it
As there is a wdOpenFormatXML I assumed I could use an XML file ?
However as I cant seem to get this to work 'manually' as a user ?
What am I missing ?
I need to use XML files to get over quote and comma problems. I also have a
large description field I wish to use. I had considered automating excel and
saving the data in an excel file and linking it to that but it has a 32k
cell limit size which is too small
