Default Switch between windows when entering merge fields in main document

Cindy Meister wrote a UserForm and macros to replace the built-in dialog
with the UserForm that lets you click back and forth. You can find it he

You'll need to download the sample and transfer the code. I put it into a
separate Merge.dot add-in and have happily used it for almost two years.

You can get information on changing the interface to something you'll like
better, too, at:

link for "Word 2002 Mail merge interface."

When adding fields to a Word Merge main document, in order to place a
field
in another position, you must close the field window, then reopen it for
each
field. This was new to 2003 and is driving me crazy!
