text table

[slimjen]

All, using 2010. Inherited a database that has a table to store text for a form
letter in a report. For example:

txt1    txt2    txt3    txt4    txt5
I am please to inform you    that you have been     selected to attend    the conference in Atlanta    Please assign you work

The


report is designed as a letter using =txt1… and so on to create a form letter.
Is there another way to do this without storing the data in these fields in a
table? I thought able mail merge but don’t know how to set this up or is it even
worth it over doing this the current way. Thanks in advance

Normally, the report (letter) has data in the table (or query). This is how it works. It's an internal mail merge.
Did you want something different?

Just thought it was odd. I had never seen anything like this before with a text table as the source.
