Default Still having Problems

I am not sure I understand your problem but I have a thought to consider.
Does your data have a header name for every column of data. If you have a
column with no header name then the mail merge will take data for a name to
the right of the blank header column from the column to the left of the one
you were expecting (hope that makes sense). If you had 2 columns with no
header and were trying to call data from a column to the right of both the
data would be out by 2 columns.

{PR_COMPANY_NAME

{PR_LOCALITY}{, PR_STATE_OR_PROVINCE PR_POSTAL_CODE}

which gives me this

I don't know if I can include a contact, but I am experiencing the same thing in my office and can't figure what the difference is, except to remove the "United States of America" item. (Basically leaving it blank) Nothing wrong with it, but when you add the person in as a contact, it defaults it there.
