He Peter,
Thanks, ctrl+shift+F9 did the trick.

Assuming you ean "TOC" and not "index", yes, the TOC is
lost during the
merge.
If you just want the same text that you see prior to the
merge, you might be
slightly better off if you remove the \h and possibly \z
switches from the
TOC field. Or you could select the TOC and use ctrl-
shift-F9 to replace the
field by its result.
However, the chances are that the TOC is not going to
work the way you want
during a merge. First, there will be one TOC per erged
record unless you use
soething like { IF { MERGEREC } = 1 "{ TOC }" "" }.
Second, the TOC does
not update correctly, so that even if you are using
Heading styles to
generate your TOC entries, you will not get the correct
results. Third, if
you are using any bookarks and possibly other TOC
features which are
destroyed durign the merge, you will not get what you
want.
In soe cases it may make sense simply to insert the TOC
after the merge and
execute it. You could store the TOC with all the
switches you need in an
AUTOTEXT entry, insert it using a macro, keep it in a
separate document and
include it via an INCLUDETEXT field(which should survive
the merge and might
do most of what you need, but beware if you are sharing
this file amongst
several erge main documents.

Please help!!!
I've made a document with an index and some merge
fields.
When I merge this same document the index is changed
into
a index based upon hyperlinks (which make the fonttype
blue and underlined). Why is this happening, and how
can
I prevent this?
Please help me...
