Hi J_Gold,

I created a mail merge template that has a graphic in it and three merge
fields. When I open it up on my computer all the merge fields display
correctly; however, when anyone else tries to access the file on their machine,
only the image appears--all the merge fields are gone. Everyone is using Word
2003. The source file is an excel document and both files are on the network.

This is the first time I have tried to create a mail merge template. What am I
doing wrong?

This doesn't sound "normal"... Hmmm. Have someone on one of these other computers
make sure that in Tools/OPtions/View the checkboxes for "non-printing characters"
are all activated. Do the fields show up, now?
