Default Mail Merge filter Toubleshoot

The article was not terribly helpful. It might help if I do not want to use
a filter at all... So the premise here is try to avoid "is Null" or as Word
puts it "is blank" in my filter criteria? Let me know if there is any
additional workaround. thanks for the help...

There are a number of different problems with the filtering in Mail
merge, but the main longstanding one is to do with filters that try to
include/exclude blank fields - e.g., see

If that's what you are experiencing, by all means see if the article
helps but otherwise another fix may be possible.

When I filter items in MS Word using mailmerge, I seem to get fitlering
errors where word adds, duplicates or changes the filters unexpectedly. Any
ideas?

Background: Currently using Office 2007; this was also happening in 2003.
Datasource is Access database (2002-2003 format), running on a peer to peer
