A major feature of SmartSimple list views is that list view results can be exported to a Microsoft Word Mail Merge with the click of a button. This feature works in conjunction with the Special - MS Word Merge field type. Once your list view has been created and you have configured one or more Word Merge custom fields, take the following steps to enable exporting list view results to a Microsoft Word Mail Merge:

  1. Go to the list view configuration page.
  2. Click into the list view for which you wish to enable exporting.
  3. Click on the "Export" tab.
  4. Select the ExportListView enableexport.PNG option.
  5. Click the "Save" button.
