Don't use fields in text boxes. Text boxes are in the drawing layer of the
document. Use tables. See

Using Office 2003, mailmerging Access data with Word to produce a
Name badge. Text must be oriented 90 degrees to page, so fixed and
variable information is placed in a text box and oriented. When the
document is complete and data is merged, for printing or individual
editing, an error message "Word found locked fields during update.
Word cannot update locked fields." The db file is not "read only", I
am the administrator, and "control+shift+f11" used on all four fields
does not unlock the fields. Help!
