Hi ?B?VmljdG9yIExhemxv?=,

Merge field is displaying the record number/id of the underlying query. I
want the underlying query field's data displayed, not the id number.

It always helps to mention the type of data source involved, as well as the
version of Word. I'm betting this is an Access data source (because you seem
to expect to see related information automatically in place of an ID field)?

Place the field that contains the information you want to see in the query,
as well, then use that instead of the ID field in the mail merge.

The "magical" display of data in place of an id field is something Access can
do in its own user interface, but that doesn't carry across to the actual
data mail merge uses.
