Hello!

We are evaluating your nice Word component, so, we have a special requirement that another suite supports, so, I need your help, because We want to buy your version…

We need that after that MailMerge is executed the MailMerge Fields keeps in the result document, like Word, where after that you apply the merge, you can switch using ALT+F9 between “MailMerge Fields Definition” and “MailMerge Fields Values”.

If you press ALT+F9 you see the definition and then again ALT+F9 you see the VALUES.

And finally, using your component can I set the default mode ALT+F9 that I want that appears when the document is opened? (Define if I want to see FIELDS DEFINITION or VALUES MODE)

Thanks a lot for your help!

It’s urgent your response, we are so interesting to buy your component, but help on this functionality is fundamental.

Best Regards,

Carlos Ariel
