To Make A Basis DDE Linked Document
In Word, use the file pull-down menu to open a new document. Select the Basis DDE Letter.dot (template). There are already several bookmarks in the documents that are created with this template. If you want to put in new data from Basis, use the Word Insert pull-down menu to insert a bookmark. Wherever you insert a bookmark that starts with Basis followed immediately by a valid field name the system will put in the appropriate data from the selected order when you execute the Basis macro by pressing Ctrl-M. Without the Basis Order Entry program running to link with Word, the Word macro to fill in the data will not work. The Order Entry program must be running before you attempt to fill in the fields.
