How does aspose.words handle mail merges when the address line and greeting line features are used in Word 2003?

Sorry, I am not sure what is meant here. Are you speaking about settings made with Tools | Letters and Mailings | Letter Wizard | Recipient info menu? Please explain your question a little further. Or send a document illustrating your point.
Best regards,

My client is using word 2003 with mailmerge. With the mailmerge toolbar viewable, they select the “Insert Address Block” and “Insert Greeting Line” options. Then the select “Match Fields” and match fields to the datasource. This works fine while in Word, but when I attempt to do the mailmerge programatically, like below, it doesn’t work. Does aspose.words support these features, if not is there a time frame when it will

Dim doc As Document = New Document(sFilePath & sFileName & ".DOC")
doc.MailMerge.RemoveEmptyParagraphs = True
doc.MailMerge.Execute(dsMergeTable)
doc.MailMerge.DeleteFields()
''Save the document
doc.Save(sFilePath & sFileName & "_Merged.DOC", SaveFormat.FormatDocument)
Return sFileName & "_Merged.DOC"

Thanks for your help,
Anthony

Thanks for a detailed explanation. I have not known about this functionality before. Currently we do not support merging data into these fields. I have logged this problem to our defect base as a feature request (issue #1161). The preliminary timeline for this feature is 5-6 months.
Best regards,

Hello,
Can anyone confirm if this feature was ever implemented?
I have searched the forum, but cannot come up with a solid answer.
I am creating a mail merge template in Word 2007, and I am mapping the data fields for the Address Block while creating the template. This is then added into the template as <>.
When this template is loaded into as Aspose.Words.Document and a merge is executed on this using a previously created dataset, the single MERGEFIELDS are replaced by the relevant data as expected, apart from the <<AddressBlock>>.
I cannot see how the field mappings from the creation of the template in Word for the address fields, make it into the document when it is loaded into Aspose.
a:) There does not seem to be any mapping information in the template xml.
b) The ODSO object in the Aspose document mail merge settings at runtime does not have any field mapping information (or any other info).
When the merge is run in Word though, the address fields are mapped accordingly.
ANY help would be great.
Thanks
