Default "Headers & Footers" and Mail Merge

If you're referring to the problem where { MERGEFIELD } fields end up as
fieldname in the output when you merge, there's a logical problem if
you are displaying the results of more than one record on the page.

You either have to use something like

{ SET myfield { MERGEFIELD fieldname } } in the body of the document and {
REF myfield } in the header/footer, or you have to use { STYLEREF } fields
to grab the first/last value of a particular field on the page.

Hi Guys,

I'm using Words2000 with an excel data source.

I am working on a report with the document in landscape and two columns.

Is there a way to use Merge and Word Fields and in the Headers and
Footers?

Thanks,

Craig
