Word/Excel

[Claudia]

1. Word after you merge a document and you go to save the
document as a regular word document, the fields revert
back to the field name and not the information merged, can
this be fixed to hold the information and not the field
name.

2. Outlook, inserting a file, I want to be able to
highlight several files from Excel as attachments but can
only do one at a time - I use to be able to do this and
now can't - what happen.....

There are some answers below but, seriously, give some thought to the Help
function in these programs. Particularly with Word, it is very good.

1. Word after you merge a document and you go to save the

name.

Yes. To unlink a field, click the field and then press CTRL+Shift+F9. Once a
field is unlinked, the current field result is regular text. If you later
want to update the information, you must insert the field again. I think
that's what you want.

2. Outlook, inserting a file, I want to be able to
highlight several files from Excel as attachments but can
only do one at a time - I use to be able to do this and
now can't - what happen.....

Hold down the control key and click on each file you want to attach. Then do
whatever action you would do to attach a single file.
