Default Need Helping Creating Mailmerge File

An ASK field merely prompts for information to be entered in a bookmark. To
insert the content of a bookmark, you need a REF field.

I have a letter that I want to merge with an records from an Access
database. I have no problem creating the fields for the mailmerge;
however, I need to be able to have the file stop at certain locations
within the letter to enter miscellaneous data. I have tried the
Fillin field and also the Ask field, but for some reason it isn't
working.

Then I learned about User forms and wondered if I could mail merge
with a userfield.

So I have two questions:

1. Is it possible to create a mailmerge and have a Userform for the
miscellaneous fields?

2. Why would my ask fields not be working? The prompts pop up, but
nothing merges into the letter.

Any help would be great.
