The person I am helping isn't actually using the address block. They are
inserting each field separately and then pressing the merge button to see
what it looks like before merging to a file. I checked the Hidden text
button and it isn't checked. Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Hi, Amber. This occurs when we use the "address block". Don't use it.
Instead, use the individual fields. See:

The reason I ask is in Word 2000 it automatically brings the data up when
the
field is blank. I am sure there must be a way of setting this in Word
2003
but I cannot find it anywhere. I don't want to have to put in IF ASK etc
everytime I merge?

Thanks!
