Default Merge fields shows different tag

Almost certainly you are using fieldnames that are too long and Word is only
seeing the first part of the fieldname which is the same in both instances.
can you change the datafile to alter the fieldnames?

in my document i have a Mail Merge field that shows as
«Brk_name_street»

When I alter the field view the following code shows:

{ MERGEFIELD Brk_name_street_no \* MERGEFORMAT } this is the correct
value for the field

The problem is that I need both the «Brk_name_street» and the
«Brk_name_street_no» fields eg. { MERGEFIELD Brk_name_street \*
MERGEFORMAT } { MERGEFIELD Brk_name_street_no \* MERGEFORMAT }

when i perform the merging the new documents contain two times the
«Brk_name_street» values

Anyone an idea??
Thanx
