I have included a 'note' field in my mail merge and it appears to have div
either side of it - the other fields do not have this. How can I remove this
from my 'note' field?

What do you mean by a 'note' field? Word does not have such a Field.

Is it a field in your data source? If so, what type of data source is it?

In the mail merge main document, if you use Alt+F9 to toggle on the display
of the Field Codes, what do you see where the 'note' field is located?

Hi Doug, thanks for your response. My data source is an Access file with
name, address, fields. There is a 'note' referred to at the bottom of my
mail merge main document - this is the one with the problem. When merged all
other info is correct but the Note field inserts the correct information but
has div either side of it. I used the alt+F9 which shows all commands,
then used alt+F9 again and the other commands are hidden - except the Note
field. The 'Note' field was inserted in the data source file, as was the
other fields.

When you used Alt+F9, what did you see where the Note field is located?

When I use the alt+F9 the problem field shows { MERGEFIELD "Notes" }

Thanks.

Is the Notes field a Memo field in Access? The div must be something
coming in from Access. My (very limited) understanding is that div tags
are some form of HTML wrapper, possibly in this case trying to convey some
formatting information.

Perhaps if you create a Select Query in Access as use that as the
datasource, the tags might go away.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Thanks for your patience Doug - I'll just have to live with it meantime.
