IWPMemo

Declaration

void MergeText([In] string FieldName);

Mail merge fields can be inserted using IWPTextCursor.InputField(string Name,string Text,bool CursorWithin).

Alternatively you can inserted the tags using escape text, i.e. <name> and use the method IWPTextCursor.FieldsFromTokens(StartText,EndText,FieldPreText) to convert the text into merge fields.

Parameters

Name	The name of the fields to be merged. You can use the wildcard * to process a group of fields, i.e. MergeText("CustomerDB.*").
