Mar 10, 2018 Mail Merge Office 2016 for Mac Mail Merge between Word and Excel is going extremely slow and often opening a document where in the Mailings tab all the options are greyed out. I am using MacOSX High Sierra version 10.13.2 (latest update) on a iMac 21.5' late 2015.
When you work on a collaborative document in which different team members contribute separate sections or chapters to be merged later, Microsoft Word allows you to keep the header information from each of those separate files through the use of section breaks. Unlike page breaks, which create a new page for content, section breaks are multi-purpose. They can serve as page breaks when needed, but their primary purpose is to separate a single document into multiple areas, each with its own page layout rules and header/footer information, such as page numbers.
New File Setup Open the Microsoft Word document that contains the content for the beginning of your combined document. Select 'Save As' from the File tab to create a new file for the combined document. Click your mouse at the end of the document and press the 'Enter' to add a blank line. Set the Style Click the 'Page Layout' tab, then select the 'Breaks' command on the Page Setup panel. Select 'Section Breaks, Next Page' from the drop-down menu that appears.
Click the 'Insert' tab. On the Text panel locate the 'Object' command. Click the small triangle to the right of the Object button to access a menu of sub-commands. Select 'Text from File' and choose the Word document that should come next in your combined document. Finalize the Settings Continue in this manner, adding a section break to the bottom of the current document and using the Insert Text From File command to add the next file, for as many individual files as you need combined into one document.
Tip • Double-click the header area on any page of the combined document and click the 'Next Section' or 'Previous Section' buttons on the Header and Footer Tools tab to move through the headers of the different documents to verify they are correct. If you add a new document to the combined document that does not have any header information of its own, it will link with the previous section's header and adopt that header information. To remove an unwanted, linked header, double-click the header and click the orange 'Link to Previous' button on the Header and Footer Tools tab to turn off the link between the two sections. Now you can delete the text from the header area of the newly added document so it is blank again.
