How to enable Write & Insert Fields in Word 2010?

[Laksh]

I'm using Office 2010 to create mail merge template, However under mailing tab the " insert merge field" is disabled. so i cannot insert the merge field in the document. Microsoft website says . "It is enabled when you set the document type to a merge document and attach a data source."

But im using Aspose.Word to assign the datasource dynamically. So how can i enable these buttons to add to merge fields?

Hi there,

Thanks for your inquiry.

You can insert a merge field into a template in Word 2010 even without a data source by going to “Insert -> QuickParts -> Field” and then clicking MergeField.

If we can help with anything else, please feel free to ask.

Thanks,
