Merge Code Toolbar in Microsoft Word

Use the Merge Code toolbar to modify sample merge templates and make new templates for Vision custom proposals.

You can also use the graphics buttons to place selected graphics in custom proposals and SF255 proposals.

Location

After you install the macro toolbar on your workstation and open Microsoft Word, the merge code toolbar is in the toolbar area of Microsoft Word. In Microsoft Word 2007, click Add-ins to display the macro toolbar icons.

The Vision Release Notes list any new merge codes in each release. To access the new merge codes in a Vision software release, you must install the new software, navigate to Utilities > Download Merge Macro, download the Visionwordmacro.dot, and save it as your new Visionwordmacro.dot.

Always use the macro toolbar to insert a merge code. Typing in a merge code causes damage to it, and it may not merge correctly.
