Batch-Convert Legacy Letter Library Documents

Use Data Tool (142) - Convert Merge Documents to batch-convert all of your legacy mail merge documents to the ViewPoint 11 database format. If you choose not to run the conversion data tool, each letter will be converted automatically the first time you merge it with ViewPoint. (Unconverted documents appear with a yellow icon in your Letter Library.)

Use This Feature

The ViewPoint 11 (and greater) mail merge feature requires at least Word 2007.

  1. Click to OpenRun Data Tool #142 - ViewPoint Main Menu > Tools & Utilities > Data Tools > Destructive #2 tab > Data Tools 142 - Convert Merge Documents, and click Run.

  2. Review Results - All legacy mail merge documents listed in your Letter Library will be converted to the new ViewPoint database format. Your original mail merge documents will remain in their original location on your computer as stand-alone word processing documents as well.
