fields are labelled Building_english and Building_english yet

Do these two fields actually have the same name, as indicated?

Also, is the name

Building_english

or is it actually

Building_english

? Or since you mention hyphens, do these names actually have hyphens

Building-english

or underscores

Building_english

?

If you use Alt-F9 to view the underlying field codes in your mail merge
main document, do you see something like

{ MERGEFIELD Building_english }

{ MERGEFIELD "Building_english" }

or what? What else is in the field code?

Good Morning!

I need your wonderful help yet again, pls g. I'm at a new place
and
I'm required to work on a merge document (Word 2007) that isn't
turning out for
us. The girl I'm replacing had trouble with this doct and though I
just
rebuilt the Word file from scratch, two fields still aren't being
picked up.

The source data doct. is an XL2007 file and it in and of itself seems
to be alright. The first row is a header row. I started with a blank
Word
file, added the fields and pointed Word to this XL file hoping that
this new instance would pick up the data correctly, if the glitch
started from somewhere at that point.

In my own doct., when I preview the labels, only the first 2 rows
appear, name and title. When I do the FINISH MERGE option, then the
entire thing shows up. I'm also missing the same 2 fields as the
original doct.

I don't know what else to do as
nothing leaps out at me as the source of the problem. The missing
two
fields are labelled Building_english and Building_english yet
they have hyphens in other fields and those fields come through okay.

What can we do to fix this pls??

Thank you!!

p.s.,
