MailMerge.EditHeaderSource method (Word)

Opens the header source attached to a mail merge main document, or activates the header source if it is already open.

Syntax

expression. EditHeaderSource

expression Required. A variable that represents a 'MailMerge' object.

Remarks

If the mail merge main document doesn't have a header source, this method causes an error.

Example

This example attaches a header source to the active document and then opens the header source.

With ActiveDocument.MailMerge 
 .MainDocumentType = wdFormLetters 
 .OpenHeaderSource Name:="C:\Documents\Header.doc" 
 .EditHeaderSource 
End With

This example opens the header source if the active document has an associated header file attached to it.

Dim mmTemp As MailMerge 
 
Set mmTemp = ActiveDocument.MailMerge 
If mmTemp.State = wdMainAndSourceAndHeader Or _ 
 mmTemp.State = wdMainAndHeader Then 
 mmTemp.EditHeaderSource 
End If
