Mailmerge Fields appear Gray in Document
My mail merge command fields in word document looks like this
«First» «Last» «Title» «Company» «Address1» «Adderss2» «City», «ST» «Zip» However, after merging with excel database, message appears saying that, "Word found locked fields during update." How do I fix? Also, the name and address information in merged document have gray background, while rest of document is normal. Any thoughts on how to fix? Thanks Michael |

Have you actually executed the merge to a new document, or are you just
previewing the results? If there really are locked fields in the mail merge main document, use Ctrl+A to select everything and then use Ctrl+Shift+F11 to unlock the fields. -- Hope this helps.

I printed out the merged document and the address headings have a gray
background -- Michael "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: Have you actually executed the merge to a new document, or are you just previewing the results?

I do not think that you have actually executed the merge. If you execute
the merge to the printer, the shading will not appear, UNLESS shading has been applied via the FormatBorders and Shading dialog. -- Hope this helps.
