Default Merge fields in header

By "header", do you mean header as in the header and footer of the document?

How are the subforms separated from each other and from the "header" If
they are in separate Sections and the "header" is of the type mentioned
above, do you have a header set up in each of those sections?

If the "header" is of the type mentioned above, you could probably achieve
what you want by linking the headers in the following sections (sub forms)
to the header in the "header"

I have a form that has a header and four "subforms". The header has
MailMerge fields for the SUBMITTER and his PHONE. Each subform has
several data fields. I have Next RECORD in front of the first field in
the second, third and forth
subforms. All of the data is in an Excel worksheet. In addition to the
data needed for the subforms, each row repeats the
SUBMITTER and PHONE, although these items are the same for all rows.

The scheme works pretty well. If there are more than four rows in the
Excel worksheet a new form is started. But, here's the glitch.
The SUBMITTER and PHONE fields are left blank in all forms but the first.
So, how do I get it to fill these fields in the second and later forms?

TIA
