As FM advertises itself as working seamlessly with Microsoft Office, I would like to know how to run a script to export/merge data from records into MS Word.

For example, We have a central client database, and would like to have a button linked to a script that would put the address data into an MS Word letter. Anyway this can be done??:?:

Well, this is interesting...

Following up on the previous post, I tried to open a FileMaker document from within Word, and at the top of the file was the phrase "All play and no work makes John a good boy." repeated over and over.

Seems the programmers at FileMaker, Inc. have some spare time on their hands.

Why don't you do the letter in Filemaker???

There was another thread on this today that I answered.

Export data needed from found set from FMP as a merge document. In MS Word, open and/or create a mail merge template. Identify the exported FMP merge document as the data source. Run the merge, and the template creates the letters.

HTH
