Merge Field Names showing after Document Converted
Using the Mail Merge Helper in Word 2000 I have selected the "restore to
Normal Word Document" option. When I attempt to print the document the Merge Field Names versus Merge Field values somehow reappear in the document. The Toggle Fields option displays either «CLM_FIRST» or {MERGEFIELD CLM_FIRST}. The only option I have enabled in the Print Tab is the "Update Fields". Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. -- Thanks John Shaening |

Hi John
If you use "Restore to Normal Word document", all that does is break the link to the data source. It doesn't remove any merge fields. Nor does it replace the merge fields with the values of the record which you were viewing, at the time. You don't mention what you expect it should do? If you want to "lock" the last thing you were looking at, then Ctrl+A, Ctrl+Shift+F9 will convert all selected fields to plain text. If you want to remove the merge fields entirely, then Alt+F9 to view the field codes. Then do a Find/replace. Find: ^d Merge and replace with nothing. -- Cindy "John Shaening" wrote: Using the Mail Merge Helper in Word 2000 I have selected the "restore to Normal Word Document" option.
