Word 5.50: Filename Not Valid with Print Merge Header File
PSS ID Number: Q71121 Article last modified on 11-02-1994
5.50 6.00
MS-DOS
| The information in this article applies to: |
| - Microsoft Word for MS-DOS versions 5.5, 6.0 |
SUMMARY
When using a header file in conjunction with a Print Merge in Microsoft Word for MS-DOS version 5.50, the DATA instruction within the main document needs to have the following syntax:
<>
-or-
<>
<< (left chevron) is produced by pressing CTRL+[ (left bracket) >> (right chevron) is produced by pressing CTRL+] (right bracket)
If there is a space before the name of the data document (Datafile.doc in the example above), the following error will result:
The filename is not valid. Header.doc, Datafile.doc
This problem was corrected in version 6.0 of Word.
Word 5.50 does not allow a space to appear before the name of the data document in the DATA instruction.
