Trying to merge word document using access

[Guest]

I would like to merge two existing word documents into a new mail merge
document using access. I have already used OLE to establish the field and to
link the existing documents, but have been unable to view those existing
documents in my new mail merge document. I am not a programmer.

Help.
Thanks

Arvin,
I appreciate your rapid response, however, I am not sure how to use that
code in generating a new mail merge document that pulls existing documents
through access. Is there another page you can direct me to so I can learn
more?

Thanks.

The existing documents should be templates (.dot extension, not .doc) and
should have bookmarks matched to the fields. When you open a new document
based upon the template, it will create a .doc file which you can then
save/print/email.
