Aanpassen tekst uit gegevenssamenvoeging

Kan nergens een goed antwoord vinden voor mijn vraag.

Heb een bestand met <<titel>> bv. "Mevr. dr." of "Dhr. Ir."  Nu wil ik deze gebruiken voor envelop, maar voor aanhef brief wil ik dit automatisch laten veranderen in Geachte "Mevrouw" of Geachte "Heer".

Wat is de beste oplossing?

Met vriendelijke groet,

Paul Peterse

If I understand correctly, you are using Data merging?

You want to use <<title>> field for the envelope using the abbreviation, such as

"Mevr. dr. Margaret Zelle"

address...

And then create another merged document for personalized letters NOT using the abbreviation, such as

"Dear Mevrouw Zelle, ...."

Do I understand correctly?

If so I would suggest simply adding a new column in your original Excel file for non abbreviated title.

Along with a simple formula such as =IF(A1="Mevr. dr.", "Mevrouw", IF(A1="Dhr. Ir.","Heer", IF(etc.)), it could be done fast enough (depends on how many different titles exist...)

You might be better off with MSWord for this kind of thing.
