Default Mail Mrege on Windows 98 not working

Hi,

I'm trying to do a mail merge on a windows 98 machine installed with Word
2000 for some customers of my company. The merge works fine on other OS
systems that have Word2K,
but on Windows 98 machines Word will prompt me that it can't find
fields in my header source that are in the word document. The only field it
seems to see is the first field. I've manually opened the datasource (it's
just a text file) and verified the fields are there. Also the word doc is
on a
server but my data source is local. I am using a '~' as my
field delimiter, not sure if that might cause problems. Also I setup a
windows 98
machine at my office with word2000 and it merged the files fine. Does
anyone know what I might be missing? Thanks!


Richard
