Automatically put signatures on Access/Word merge docoument
Hi
Can anyone tell me how to get a signature to automatically appear on a merged document like other merged fields.
Everying during the merge processing is working fine (single document and/or bulk documents) except for the signature line. At present the only way I can get the signature to appear on the merged document(s) is to put the cursor on the signature line and press the F9 key.
This is OK for a single document but not acceptable if the user has to print several hundred documents (Certificates etc).
I have attached a sample document (which I hope you can open in MS Word)) that has the IncludePicture mail merge signature graphic, however, after opening the document you may have to press the ALT+F9 keys to display the IncludePicture code that has the full path name and the users signature.jpg . This is located down to the bottom of the document with a message as to what to do.
As I said - the signature appears if I press F9 so the path/signature is valid but won't appear automatically. Do I need to include something else in the IncludePicture mail merge graphic?
If not is there anyway I can get the signature to appear without the user having to manually intervean

Note that if you are printing directly, there is an option (Options/Display section) to force field updating before printing.

Thanks to both of you for your prompt response. The CtrlA + F9 does the trick
