Thanks, Doug. I have scoured the options on the Advenced tab, but I do not
see aanything about merge fields and how to take off the highlighting. I'm so
frustrated.

If you execute the merge, there are no fields in the result and hence no
highlighting. It sounds like you are just previewing the result of the
merge.

However, you can turn off the highlighting via ToolsOptoins in Word 2003
and earlier or Office ButtonWord OptionsAdvanced in Word 2007
