Oct. 2nd, 2023 10:07 am I just spent, like, an hour trying to figure out why my mail merge wasn't working, like it's 2005.
There's no wizard anymore!
I tried using an alternate merge technique using googledocs and it finally gave me the error I needed
i had duplicate columns
(really, the source data is a googleform, and I had conditional questions, like if you're a vendor, go to this section and then agree to terms, if you're a chef, go to this section and agree to the terms, so the 'terms' ended up a duplicate field. Which broke merge in Word and in Autocrat.
Also, weirdly, Pages has merge capability, according to apple support website, but not here on my computer. ah well.
All I wanted it for was to get a good listing of my vendors; not too much to ask!
