What is up with all the arbitrary absent features in Word, even as of
Word 2007.

You can't use a merge field in a wordart, you can't make a script
call from a merge field...

It's enough to drive one bonkers!

Can you reference the value of a Bookmark in a WordArt object? Set
the bookmark to the mergefield value then put the bookmark in the
WordArt? Just a thought.

You can only successfully use mail merge fields in the text layer
of the document.

As iti is the season to be jolly I was printing some Christmas
Cards. What I tried to do was put a mailmerge field into the
WordArt phrase. It still printed the phrase completely ignoring
the field. As you can get some nice effects with Wordart does
anybody know if it is possible to use WordArt and mailmerge?

Thanks in advance.
