In your original post, you said "the merge fields don't display the data"
when you select the View Merged Data button.

What do you see if you toggle the fields? I did not say to save the
document like that.

However, if you want the data to be merged immediately upon opening the
document, you will need to have code that executes the merge in a macro
named AutoOpen in the document, or AutoNew in template if the main document
is saved as a template.

Hope this helps.

I tried toggling the fields and saving like that, but I want the document
to
open with the fields already toggled, the document already merged.

button. Isn't there a way that when the document is opened, it appears
merged?
