I work for the IT dept in a legal firm and am trying to introduce
INCLUDETEXT
statements into our precedent bank so that we can standardise the top and
tail of our letters.

We have a number of precedents that require a FILLIN for the recipient
name/address/ref/salutation etc but it seems that FILLINs don't work
within
INCLUDETEXT in that they loop several times.

A lock switch \! doesn't prevent the looping.

Am I doing something wrong?
