Hi ?B?SGFweXRyYXlseg==?=,

I have been trying to insert a custom merge field in a document template I am
creating. I don't know how to define the merge field and I don't know how to
list the specific data in my data list (address information) that I would
like to populate my custom merge field with.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "custom mergefield". In Word, a mergefield
has to get data from the linked data source in order to populate a mergefield.
Mergefields really can't be used for anything else.

Are you trying to place "targets" in a document for data you're putting into
Word using automation? More details would help (including the version of Word).
