Default Mail Merge snafoo

What was it that you e-mailed? Was it the merge source document with the
fields that you inserted? In which case you can toggle between the field
construction and content with ALT+F9. Or was it the merged document (merge
to new document) in which case there will be no field information. - See

Hi Guys,

This is really weird. I created a mail merge in office 2003 using
data from excel. I made labels and used the label wizard. Once the
document was made, saved it and then needed to make some changes to
some labels. I made the changes and they did work, I save the
document. I e-mailed the document home and opened it
up on Word 2000. When I opened it at home, there were no words but I
could tell that there was something there. I selected the whole
document and changed the font
thinking that maybe I didn't have the same font here as I did from
where I created the document. The first label showed all of the
text. I then hit the redo button and all of the labels were visible.
I printed it out fine and all is
well but I would really like to know what is going on. Each address
is like a macro button, you can toggle and untoggle the field, how
can I save this so it is just plain text in the labels and dump the
underlying formatting?
Thanks,
Linda
