About Exporting to Microsoft® Word Using Serial Letter

Export industry model data to MS Word using mail merge.

This command creates two files in the <AutoCAD Map 3D program folder>\Data\Word\ folder.

• Word template <table name>.dot (with all table columns available as serial letter fields).
• Data source file <table_name>.dat (containing the records to use in the serial letter).

When you use this command for the first time, the merge fields are not yet inserted into the *.dot file. Add the desired serial fields, and save and close the *.dot file. The next time you start the serial letter command, the fields are replaced by the corresponding values of the current filter.

Create special views containing all data to print in a serial letter, such as names and addresses. You can then apply the serial letter command to this view.
