Merging to Word Four Ways
6/9/2002
Demonstrates four ways to merge Access data to Word documents – Word 
document properties, bookmarks, the TypeText method and DDE mail merge. 
Both Access 97 and Access 2000 databases are provided; the Access 2000 
database also works in Access 2002. code24.zip
----------------
Also note if using Word 2002

in Access 2002 that VBA Mail Merges using OpenDataSource and Connection 
(Name: Query...) which uses
the old DDE technology, is broken. It was used in all previous versions 
of Access. Also, any DDE queries using the Connection method with (Name:
Query...) also If any query parameters are required, or any calculations 
done, or anything special, done to the standard select query,
Within WORD 2002, you CANNOT merge with a QUERY, unless you EXPORT the 
file from within Access and first, save the file as ‘Microsoft Word 
Merge’ file type
For info if you use these methods with Word 2002, this may have been 
fixed with an SP I am not sure.
