Default Merge fields not showing data in word footer

See the "Individual Merge Letters" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website
at:

http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm

If you are using Word XP or later, the "Add-in to Merge Letters to Separate
Files" that I have written and that can be downloaded from that site will
allow you to create each letter as a separate file with a filename taken
from a field in the data source with a minimum of fuss.

And, then send the letters as attachments using the method in the article
"Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments" at

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...ttachments.htm

Hope this helps.

We are generating form letters using MS Word 2000 and then sending out
through email (Exchange 2003 mail server) using mail merge wizard.
When the document gets emailed out all the merger fields except for the
one in the footer is not getting merged. If I open the attachment
directly from email the merged data is not there. If I save the
document to my local computer the merged data appears. If I email the
doc outside my organization the same exact thing happens. Has anyone
experienced this before?
