The View data button is only enabled when the mailmerge main document is
active with a data source attached to it. It will not be enabled when the
active document is the document created by executing the merge.

For you field problem are you sure that the field names in the document and
the data source match? What happens if you click on one of the "missed"
fields and press F9?
