I know that previously when I used the toolbar, the "Insert Merge Field" was
the drop down box. Now I have "Insert World Field."

I'm using a Word table as my data base.

Did something flukey hapepen here?

Thanks!

You should have both pulldowns. Try unchecking the Mail Merge toolbar under
ViewToolbars to remove it, and then go back and check it again to get it to
be displayed afresh.

Interestingly, I don't. Nor do others in my office. Hm, off to investigate
further.

Thanks for your help Doug!

Drag "Insert Merge field" to your toolbar.

He doesn't have the pulldown for inserting the Mailmerge Fields. He only
has the one for inserting Word Fields.

That is what I guessed, which is why I gave instructions for adding the
mailmerge fields pulldown using the Customize dialog.

Thanks Charles, this is exactly what I was looking for. At some point I must
have customized the toolbar, but it was so long ago I didn't remember the
process. And somehow my Merge Toolbar went back to default.

Kindest regards and thanks again for your help.
