Sigh. I used to love teaching mail merge but I haven't tried since version 2003.

If you...Jane, I think of you as a technology queen. If you couldn't get mail merge to do your bidding, there truly is a rat in the program.<br />It's been years since I worked in mail merge, but it always brought me to tears. How is it possible to make it so difficult? Don't even get me started on the goofy shit in the latest version of Word that has screwed over college students trying to write their research papers. Aren't students a major customer base for Word? I tell students they need to call Bill Gates to complain, and I ain't kidding! Grrr. This may call for a full-test Coke, with high fructose.<br />Thanks for reminding me that I'd been saving your podcast for after I got through the latest batch of papers. Yay-- I have something to look forward to!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468655681800817415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5162829547026802129.post-71169306383288469352012-03-01T10:22:59.983-07:002012-03-01T10:22:59.983-07:00I haven't had to mess with mail merges in a wh...I haven't had to mess with mail merges in a while, but I remember that when I finally got it to work on the flower shop computer (and I have no idea which version of office or word it was anymore, but older than XP for sure), I felt like I had scaled a summit without a sherpa. So proud of myself. You couldn't PAY me to try to do a mail merge on the newest version. I hate all the bells and whistles. Makes me miss typewriters even more. :)<br /><br />Sorry to hear about the audio.

He shakes his head and says, "Get a grip" <br />I know, I am sure you wonder how we have been married almost 25 years, the secret?
