Switch between windows when entering merge fields in main document
When adding fields to a Word Merge main document, in order to place a field
in another position, you must close the field window, then reopen it for each field. This was new to 2003 and is driving me crazy! ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Switch between windows when entering merge fields in main document
Cindy Meister wrote a UserForm and macros to replace the built-in dialog
with the UserForm that lets you click back and forth. You can find it he http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindy...02.htm#FldList You'll need to download the sample and transfer the code. I put it into a separate Merge.dot add-in and have happily used it for almost two years. You can get information on changing the interface to something you'll like better, too, at: http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindy...002/MM2002.htm.

Switch between windows when entering merge fields in main document
It was introduced with Word 2002. Go back to the old method and you won't
have the problem - see http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org SueH wrote: When adding fields to a Word Merge main document, in order to place a field in another position, you must close the field window, then reopen it for each field.
