Merge fields shows different tag
in my document i have a Mail Merge field that shows as «Brk_name_street» When I alter the field view the following code shows: { MERGEFIELD Brk_name_street_no \* MERGEFORMAT } this is the correct value for the field The problem is that I need both the «Brk_name_street» and the «Brk_name_street_no» fields eg. { MERGEFIELD Brk_name_street \* MERGEFORMAT } { MERGEFIELD Brk_name_street_no \* MERGEFORMAT } when i perform the merging the new documents contain two times the «Brk_name_street» values Anyone an idea??

Almost certainly you are using fieldnames that are too long and Word is only
seeing the first part of the fieldname which is the same in both instances. can you change the datafile to alter the fieldnames? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Dandelion wrote: in my document i have a Mail Merge field that shows as «Brk_name_street» When I alter the field view the following code shows: { MERGEFIELD Brk_name_street_no \* MERGEFORMAT } this is the correct value for the field The problem is that I need both the «Brk_name_street» and the «Brk_name_street_no» fields eg. { MERGEFIELD Brk_name_street \* MERGEFORMAT } { MERGEFIELD Brk_name_street_no \* MERGEFORMAT } when i perform the merging the new documents contain two times the «Brk_name_street» values Anyone an idea??
