Works well, thanks, with one problem and two curiosities. The problem is that merge fields in the header do not seem to work. They are placed and formulated correclty, unless a special procedure is needed for header-based fields, but they do not populate correctly. What appears on the final, merged document are the names of the merge fields. Is there a way to merge into headers?

One curiosity, which does not really matter, is that SEQ fields do not incrementally increase, at least not without any switches. LISTNUM seems to work just fine, though.

The other curiosity is that the available adjustments to table borders seems restricted. For example, there does not seem to be a way to have each row lined top and bottom without also having lines between the cells. To put it another way, the only combination of table and cell borders which seems to work predictably--I think--is "all."

Any assistance you could give on the header problem would be appreciated. And any insight on why SEQ doesn't work might be useful in the future.
