Default Mail merge using Access

I think I've identified the problem. When the column entry in the database is
a hyperlink and that cell is blank it causes other columns to shift.

What happens when you execute the merge?

I would be looking for some problem with the data in the data source rather
than with the mail merge.

In 2 adjacent columns the headings are Country and Sector and the entries
are
OK in the Access database. However, when mail merge some of the entries
for
Sector appear in the Country column when in step 3 of 6 "Select
recipients"

You better explain in detail what you have done, because if you do it
correctly, it doesn't happen that way.

When using the Access database for recipients the initial columns are
OK
but
in other columns information jumps from a following column. This is
random
and does not apply to every record.
