Creating Documents:
Create a new Word document by saving as or creating a new document and saving in the folder: N:\DATAEXP\Point Templates (make sure it is a Word 97- 2003 document). In the new document set up the path for the mail merge by going to:
Mailings
Select Recipients
Use an Existing List
Type in this File Name: C:\WINPOINT\WORK\POINTEXP.TXT
Click Open
Use the “Insert Merge Field” Button in the toolbar to create or edit the document with the appropriate merge fields that match the new loan program. Save file and exit out of the document.
Use this process to create approval letters, closing documents, denial letters, etc.
Creating Templates in Point:
In Point go to Templates (bottom left of screen) and create the following templates by saving as or creating a new template:
Loan Program
Closing Cost Scenario
Borrower Master
Data Export
For the Data Export make sure the paths match this example with the exception of the “Document to Link to”. Browse and find the Word document you just made using this path: N:\DATAEXP\Point Templates. You also need to check that the “Maps to Field ID” matches your loan program and new Word document. You can manually add these by typing in a blank line below the existing items. Type the name of the field in the “Column In File” and the field number in the “Maps to Field ID” number (Brw/Co-Brw is always a 0). Most every field you need can be found in existing templates and you can jot the field ID number in and type it in your new template. If you need to check the number of a field in Point you can go to an existing or new file in Point, click on “Utilities” in the top tool bar and click on “Load Field ID” then choose “Borrower” and it will display all the field numbers.
