Hi Deb,
If you know the field's name, you should be able to create the merge field manually. Just type Ctrl-F9 to create a pair of field
braces (ie '{ }'), then type 'MERGEFIELD MyField' between the braces, thus: '{MERGEFIELD MyField}', where 'MyField' is the field
name.
Depending on the type of field, you may also want to add some formatting switches. For that, see Word's Help file and/or:
http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm
When you're done, press F9 to update the display, then save the document. You're now ready to run the mailmerge.

I've searched microsoft word help but cannot find any information about how
to add a field to a mail merge list without having to create a new list.
