Implementation Details

Word Processing Document API allows you to perform a mail merge with master-detail templates. The TableStart:Name and TableEnd:Name merge fields define master and detail regions. The region name should match the group or table name in your data source.

Call the RichEditDocumentServer.CreateMailMergeOptions() method to create a new MailMergeOptions object. This object contains mail merge options. Specify the object's DataSource property to set the mail merge database. This example uses sample NWind data converted to a flat JSON database file.

Pass the MailMergeOptions object as the RichEditDocumentServer.MailMerge method parameter to apply specified options.
