Hi ZSplash,
This problem, and way to work around it, is described in the KB article WD2000: Text Form Fields Are Not Retained During Mail Merge http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=211308 Please excuse my ignorance -- mailmerge is completely new to me. So, if I am trying to create a form that uses mailmerge to get fields from a data source. Then, once the mailmerge has completed, I want to be able to manually fill-in fields (i.e., textboxes, dropdown boxes in a non-mailmerge form on a protected doc). Other than using "fill-in" fields (whose clunky boxes are nerve-wracking), how can I incorporate text boxes in a mailmerge? That is, in a regular document, I'd put in textboxes, and then protect the document. As the user tabs through the document, he can replace the textboxes with whatever he wants. Is there something similar in mailmerge??
