Remove the unused merge fields from your main document.

Word 2002. I want to automate a mail merge e.g. Double click on document
name, document opens, merges data (from flat file), prints, closes. 1) I
have
created a merge document (for invoices). 2) My (.txt) file has fewer data
fields than my header record. 3) I have an AutoOpen macro to merge the
data.
4) Before the macro runs, Word asks for confirmation of the data
delimiters
then gives me several message boxes to say RECORD 1 (etc) CONTAINED TOO
FEW
DATA FIELDS.

Q) How do I stop the warning messages and the delimiter confirmation box
from appearing and thus stop the need for user intervention?

Thanks!
