doing something weird with the combination of using field codes to get text
from another document at the
start of a bullet list.

This results in not showing the first bullet.

When removing field references it shows the correct result - would be a
problem alwas having to do that.

Are there somewhere you can post a file so someone else can take a look at
it ?

Not sure about everything you are doing, so I may not be helping here. But
in the area of the Word document that you want the bullet info pasted, I
would first format that area with bulleting you want and then Paste Special
the data you are getting elsewhere into that bulleted spot that you formatted
in your document.

Post the field construction you are using here in the body of the message -
http://www.gmayor.com/export_field.htm should help with that. The issue may
simply be corrected by applying a bulleted paragraph style to the requisite
field and using a charformat switch to format according to the applied
style.

Thanx both for your response....!!!

{IF {COMPARE {DOCVARIABLE "GARNEDDATO1" \* MERGEFORMAT} " " \*
MERGEFORMAT } = 1 {INCLUDETEXT "C:\FIL1.DOT" \* MERGEFORMAT} {INCLUDETEXT
"C:FIL2DOT" \* MERGEFORMAT} \* MERGEFORMAT}

The text in the first document is (sorry bout the danish...:

Den 10. december nedskrives garantien til 10 % .....
Den 15. december nedskrives garantien yderligere til 2 % ...

When putting bullets around the code it shows up like this:

Den 10. december....
B. Den 15. december ...

And not like this:

A. Den 10. december
B. Den 15. december

But when hitting CTRL SHIFT F9 i get this

Isn't it an error when linking documents then ?

Let's get rid of all those mergeformats for a start.

Try:

{IF {COMPARE {DOCVARIABLE "GARNEDDATO1"} " " } = 1 "{INCLUDETEXT
"C:\\FIL1.DOT" \*charformat}"
"{INCLUDETEXT "C:\\FIL2.DOT" \*charformat}"}

and apply the bulleted paragraph style to the whole paragraph.
