Form text fields and Merges
The two features are not compatible.
You can however create a series of documents that contain formfields and data from a data source by using visual basic to itereate through the data source and create document variables for each piece of data and create new documents from what would have been the mail merge main document that has been modified to replace the merge fields with docvariable fields to display the information contained in the document variables. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP wrote in message ps.com...
