Default Problems with text box mailmerge

Using Office 2003, mailmerging Access data with Word to produce a Name badge.
Text must be oriented 90 degrees to page, so fixed and variable information
is placed in a text box and oriented. When the document is complete and data
is merged, for printing or individual editing, an error message "Word found
locked fields during update. Word cannot update locked fields." The db file
is not "read only", I am the administrator, and "control+shift+f11" used on
all four fields does not unlock the fields. Help!
