Default Mail Merge "Ask" Rule

Thanks for the quick replies folks. I work with csinnett and he passed me
the information that macropod posted. When I attempted it the first time I
was receiving a blank line or the {MERGEFIELD First_Name} {MERGEFIELD
Last_Name}.

I re-did the process again (so I could type up a response here) and it works
fabulously. It appears that I fat-fingered something in the test line that I
did (probably a missed bracket or quote).

The feature works as described. Thanks for both of your comments on getting
this resolved for us. This will work perfectly!

Curious because it works fine here (Word 2007 & merging to a new document).
What did the prompt actually display?

Thanks for the quick response. Didn't work though; I don't think you can
get
it to display any of the variables when using the ask rule.

Frankly I don't understand how you're supposed to use it if you can't tell
what record you're on. Right now we're trying to get them to put the data
in
the csv file instead of using manual entry.
