Are you used to seeing "Mailmerge fields" like this:
myfield
and are you now seeing them like this
{ MERGEFIELD myfield }
?
If so, this is just a "view" problem which you can fix (at least to an
extent) by clciking Alt-F9 in Word to toggle field code view, and/or using
Tools-Options-View to change the view settings.

I received an Word document (it had "Word fields" in it) as an e-mail
attachment. When I opened it I was asked if I wanted to open it in
Reading
View. I said yes. After I exited that document I noticed that when I
open
any of my Word mail merge documents, the mail merge fields are replaced
with
"Word fields". Can I correct this without recreating each mail merge
document? I have several hundred mail merge documents that are affected.
I'm
using Word 2003 on Windows Vista.
Thank you.
