Default using Japanese addresses in mailmerge yields reverse data

There's ausually a strong case for using individual fields as Doug
suggests, but if you are using the ADDRESSBLOCK, it is probably worth
using Alt-F9 to display the field code and see whether the \d and \l
switches are in there. At least one of those settings may have an impact
on how Japanese addresses are displayed. I can't tell you much more than
that, I'm afraid - for example, I don't know how Japnese addresses are
normally laid out in Japan.

AIUI this stuff works better in Word 2007 than it does in Word 2003 but
that's about it.

the exact reverse of all other addresses in the sheet.
