Do not understand his code and how its done, looking for a simler
verstion
Actually, that code is designed to be used by people who don't know code.
While that web page of mine is a really piece of junk, that word merge is
download a LOT.
I have received letters from old ladies doing volunteer work for charities,
and they never seen, or written code before. They wrote me letters to thank
me for my solution (I am NOT making this up....I have received many emails
of thanks from people around the world..and they OFTEN tell me that they
don't know code, but were able to use my application with the step by step
instructions on the web page).
If you following the instructions, you can place a button on ANY of your
bound forms,and with ONE LINE of code, it will instantly word merge enabled.
One line of code is ALL you need to write. Behind the button, simple place
the following code
MergeSingleWord
That is it!!!...the merge system will take care of merging the ONE record
you are looking at. It also takes care of the template creation also.
So, I actually do agree that some efforts should be made to learn, and read
the code you use. However, in the mean time, you can use the code, and you
ONLY have to write ONE line of code to word merge enable any form with that
example.
Try downloading and running the sample. The sample has data, and just try
doing a merge with it. If the sample works, then try the step by step
instructions here on how to use this in your code.
You can download the sample here:

And, step by step on how to use this in *existing* applcaitons is here:

While there is a LOT of solutions that use bookmarks, my solution actually
lets word do the merge (no book marks!!). Not only is this less code, but
this means that my code does NOT need to be modified for each new form, or
application that you use the code in. My code does not actually do the word
merge, and lets word do that part. My code is only a nice easy "wrapper"
interface for the features that exist now, and also just merges the ONE
record you are looking at.
My solution may not be what you are looking for, but you might want to give
the sample a try, since as far as I know, my solution is the ONLY solution
on the internet that allows you to word enable ANY form with ONE line of
code....
When I have time, I really should re-write the whole thing as a wizard..and
then you could word merge a form with NO code!!!
