Updating GoldMine Templates

Other Related Topics...

If you change a GoldMine template document, you must also update the GoldMine form record for the template.

A form record contains a list of all the merge fields that are in the template, so that GoldMine can export a dBase file containing the correct fields for merging purposes.

If a document is changed and the form record is not updated, fax merge may not work correctly because the exported file may or may not contain the necessary fields that are required for the merge.

There are several ways to update the form record corresponding to the template.

Updating Templates from within MS Word

1. From within Word, open the template.
2. Make the changes: adding and/or deleting GoldMine fields as necessary.
3. From the File menu, select Update GoldMine Template....

This will update the form record automatically and save the changes to the template.

Updating Templates from within GoldMine

4. Make the changes: adding and/or deleting GoldMine fields as necessary.
5. From the File menu, select Update GoldMine Template.... This will update the form record automatically and save the changes to the template.
