Hi there, I have recently subscribed to a we based database program for
my organisation that inserts your word documents into their library and
places the database items (names, numbers, greeting ext) into your rtf
format document when you use their mergefield links.

My main problem is that the chevrons the appear when you use the
mergefield fields have to be manually removed in order for them not be
be displayed. This is quite a bit of a task as there are about 100
letters with about 10 fields on each letter that needs to be modified.

I know that everyone says that you just press the "abc" button on
the mailmerge toolbar and they should disappear, but unfortunately this
is not the case as this is not a mailmerge. I have actually created a
macro through just recording that places most of the field in the form
by just running it, but the task still remain to remove the chevrons
after the fields have been entered.

Is it possible to remove the chevrons in any other way than to manually
remove them every time t hey are entered?
