Merged Document edit fields MS Word 2003 SP1
Please make the merged document contain regular text. It is difficult to
customize when the merge information stays a field form. It never behaved like this before. For ex: I'm building a catalog. Some of the entries are too long (like addresses), so i want to use some abbreviations. If i try to select a word, good grief, the whole darned field is selected. I have to delete it character by character. I can't double click the word, delete it, and type in the abbreviation i want to use. This is a real nuisance and will cause users to make errors because they either delete the full field or leave some straggling letters because they didn't carefully use the delete each letter method. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.
