I'm creating a word merge into a new doc. I have text fields that aren't
merging, so I looked for help and found this macro on MS support that's
suppose to fix it and have the merge retain any text fields.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211308/
I put it all in, and it works except on the 2nd page of the doc it leaves
the place holders. The doc is only two pages after the merge, 3 before the
merge, anyone know why the it creates text fields on the first page, but not
on the second page?

the code in that link doesn't work, I'm getting some complier errors, and I'm
not very familiar w/programming to try to fix it.

The compiler errors are probably attributable to the line

'Requires a reference to Microsoft DAO 3.# Object Library

From the VBA Editor Tools References, ensure that the above item is
checked.

I believe that this function was introduced with Word 2002. You can by-pass
it by changing the lines

Dim fDialog As FileDialog

Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
sPassword = "" 'insert form password, if applicable, between quotes
With fDialog
.Title = "Select Folder to store the documents and click OK"
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.InitialView = msoFileDialogViewList
If .Show -1 Then
MsgBox "Cancelled By User"
Exit Sub
End If
DocDir = fDialog.SelectedItems.Item(1)
If Right(DocDir, 1) "\" Then DocDir = DocDir + "\"
End With

for

DocDir = "c:\path\"

where C:\Path is the folder that you would have selected had you been able
to
