Merge documents: name for individually saved files
Posted: 2019-08-21 12:33:12
According to NWP3 manual (page 547) the "Merge document…" dialog should set the name of individually saved files to "First Name Last Name".
Unfortunately NWP defaults to the fixed string "file" which results in the not so useful names "file (1).rtf", "file (2).rtf", etc. The manual also says that is possible to override the default but doesn't explain how.
Luckily I still have an old NWP2 manual around and, looking at an image, I found that the correct syntax uses $ and {} as in ${First Name}, ${Last Name}, ${Merge Record Number}, etc.
@Martin, is it possible to restore the correct default for the dialog?
