Default WordArt in Mail Merge

This blows.

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.
