Hello Lanticians, members

So Far  I have completed steps in the  "Wordmerge.doc"

Step1: Completed Batch file for word.bat
Step2 :Configured Seame Application for Merge Print
           Programed Element
     Changed vDatapath to c:\sesame\docs\esmibids1.txt
     Changed F arrays to field elements in *.db 
     Changed vSelectedDoc =@PopupMenu to a word document that I am trying to merge to (NYN30TD.doc)

Step3: Design Your Word Merge Documents 
design word doc to use it and insert your merge fields

" It appears that Step3 is in instruction numbers 5 -7 are very different  using Word 6.0 XP. I have used the Mail Merge Wizard. Opened data source to read c:\sesame\docs\esmbids1.txt
In Insert Merge Fields, none of my database elements are avail to pick from???

My question is how do you get your database elements to appear in the drop down menu for "Insert Merge Field" in Word 6.0 XP?

It does discuss at end of step2
"Having a header Line in the "data Source" file enables you to insert your merge fields in the Word document by field name. Without it, Word won't be able to provide ou with a  sensible "Insert Merge Field" list without having to do extra work"

How is a header line set up in a data source file? Or Does it need to changed to show your elements?

Can anyone offer any tips/instructions using XP Word for Merge Print?

It would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
