Excel Mail Merge Charts with Word - Doug Robbins Merge Tool Example File Request

Hi-

Forgive me, I know this has been handled before, but am really struggling with how to charts from Excel to Word in a mail merge. I have read tons of forums on methodology, but since I have no background in VBA, need a little hand holding. I have tried Doug Robbins Merge Tools but can't get it to work. Does anyone have an example file that they can share with me where they got this to work properly?

I get as far as setting up the mail merge fields, but cannot figure out the Word bookmark chart portion. No files ever seem to be created and it just gives me an output of my merged text, nothing else. All I need is a sample file (.docx and .xls) of when this worked for someone and should be good to go.

Alternatively, if there is another tool that will do this, I'd be interested, too.

Thanks!

I'm struggling with this too. I get all the way through the set up, but after clicking continue to initiate the process nothing happens. Is anyone able to get Doug Robbins mail merge charts tool to work? I have Office 2010 and Windows XP.

Eureka! I got it to work! You have to save the Word and Excel document as 97 - 2003 workbook. It works perfectly. Phew!
