MS Word Merge (Mac)

Hi Everyone,

We are trying to determine what options are available for using FileMaker Server 9 as a data source for a MS Word merge on a Mac?

Direct connect to a FM v7 and higher file is not possible. We have attempted to export an Excel file which showed "AutoFormat field" and no data. And we were unable to connect via ODBC even though MS Word on a Win machine could access the same data source just fine.

In the back of my mind I am starting to recall that this may not be possible on a Mac. Are there any options?

Thanks,

Paul

I don't think a direct connection is possible, but you can export the FileMaker data to Merge (.mer), then use that as a data source.

I've also seen some pretty cool stuff with xsl/xslt:
