We have a wrod document which we merge a field from our database too. The
database outputs "First name Middle name Surname" we would like our
letters
to say "Dear Paul" rather than "Dear Paul Jon Humphries". I've been
looking
for a merge field code which could be used to purely pull through the
first
word, but have been unsucessful. Can anyone help/advise?
