Insert Word Field is inactive
I have a successful mail merge document working and need to modify an
inserted nested IF statement. The document was created in a version of WORD prior to Word2003. What's the problem? |

Press Alt+F9 to toggle on the display of field codes, then make the
modification as required. If no field codes are displayed, you are using the result of the mailmerge, rather than the mail merge main document. -- Hope this helps.

Insert Word Field is inactive
Doug thanks for your help. I used Alt+F9 and the field codes displayed. The
"Insert Word Field" button is active (highlighted) but its drop down window is null (doesn't display). What am I doing wrong in order to get this button to allow selections from its options? I have made the doc's modifications I needed by manually changing the nested if statements but I'd like to be able to use the "Insert Word Field" button for future enhancements & doc developments.
