Create a Word Merge Document

The steps below describe the process for creating a new Microsoft Word document that pulls data from Moveware and populates it into the main body of the document (for example, the customer’s name for a Quote document, and other scenarios of this type).


Part 1: Create the Word Merge 

  1. Open the word document that you would like to create a word merge for. 
  2. Select Mailings from the main menu at the top of the screen.
  3. Then, click the Start Mail Merge tile and select Step-by-Step Mail Merge Wizard.



  4. On the right side of the screen, the Mail Merge wizard will open:



  5. On the bottom-right of the screen, click Next: Starting Document > Next: Select Recipients > Next: Write your letter.

  6. Depending on whether you are pulling details relating to a Jobs/Removals quote or a Rate Request (Quotes to Agents), choose the applicable template to open.

    For a Rate Request/ Quote to Agent, follow this path to find the Merge Rate Request Fields document: 

    C:/Moveware/Live/Template/mergeraterequest.doc 

    For a quote that you wish to run from the Jobs screen, follow this path:

    C:/Moveware/Live/Template/Quote New Fields.doc


    Choose an option and click Open.

  7. On the pop-up, click Yes:



  8. On the next pop-up, click OK:


Part 2: Insert the Merge Fields into the Document 

  1. You will now have the option to insert a merge field by selecting the Insert Merge Field tile from the main ribbon under Mailings.

2. This will produce a list of merge fields to select from, allowing you to specify a field to pull from Moveware:

For example, to pull the name of the Sales Rep of a Job: 


Step 3: Add the Word Merge Document to Moveware 

  1. Save your new document in C:/Moveware/Company.

  2. In Moveware, go to Administration > System Setup > Report       Configuration.  

  3. Select Add to add the document to Moveware.
