Graham sorry, may be I miss something or is not clear to me what the example
should contain.
On page 1 of the tutorial I read:
"Using the Sample Data File & Mailmerge Main Document
For the purposes of testing the fields in the examples given in this
document, you can simply copy the fields to the accompanying €˜Mailmerge Main
Document file, without going through the steps in the section titled €˜Set Up
the Main Mailmerge Document. You may, however, need to re-attach the data
source €“ Word will prompt you if this is required."
So my expectation is that the "Mailmerge Main Document.doc" contains already
the mail merge fields.
Is it correct my understanding or not?

Graham, I don't mind about the popup message, it's not a problem, the
problem is that the page is blank even if I press SHIFT+F9 or ALT +
F9 (in my italian version). No fields are shown.
Do you have any other example that I can try?
Thanks

Hi Graham,
yes I have the data source correctly sorted and I have choosen the
document type directory.
The strange behaviour is that I have downloaded also the macopod's
example files and they dont' work neither on my PC with Word and
excel 2007, nor in another machine with excel and word 2003.
As soon as I open the word file a popup window appears saying:
"If you open this document the following command will be executed:
Select * from c:\users\Waramanga\Documents\System\Catalogue Merge
Data.xls Do you want to continue?"
If I click on "Yes" a blank page opens. I have verified if the data
source is connected and it is.
Do you think that could be a problem the office language? I have
Word and Excel in Italian.

Did you have the data source sorted by location and did you set the
merge document type to directory?
Fellow MVP 'macropod' has posted a tutorial on this, with working
field codes and a sample Excel data source, at:

Hi I'm trying to implement the following mail merge
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294686/en-us
I followed the instructon perfectly but it doesn't work. The
result should be: Atlanta
Galos $3,000
Delaney $50,000
Henningsen $10,000
Houston
Johnson $8,000
Kelly $9,000
Pak $0
But in my case I obtain
Atlanta
Galos $3,000
Atlanta
Delaney $50,000
... etc
so the grouping mechanism doesnt' work. It seem that the MERGESEQ
didn't
work and also the carriage return (ENTER key). I'm using excel and
word 2007
_______________________________________
This is the script. Field braces are inserted pressing CTRL+F9 and
the carriage return is done by press the ENTER key.
{ IF { MERGESEQ } = "1" "{ MERGEFIELD CITY }¶
" "" }{ SET Place1 { MERGEFIELD CITY }}¶
{ If { Place2 } { Place1 }"¶
{ MERGEFIELD CITY }¶
¶
{ MERGEFIELD EMPLOYEE } { MERGEFIELD SALES }" "{ MERGEFIELD
EMPLOYEE } { MERGEFIELD SALES }" }{ SET Place2 { MERGEFIELD CITY
}}¶
