I have several merge fields set as hidden text because I need to be able to
see them on the screen but not print once I've completed my merge - seems
reasonable right? However, once I merge, the hidden text is completely
ignored. Has anyone encountered this and more importantly found a
resolution?

[Peter Jamieson]

However, once I merge, the hidden text is completely
ignored.

Can we assume that you mean that the hidden attribute is ignored and so the
text is visible? Please spell it out if that's not right.

It seems OK here, but
a. which version of Word (I'm using 2003)?
b. how are you hiding the MERGEFIELD fields (and are you hiding other types
of field) ?
c. presumably you are outputting to a new document, but what type of merge
are you performing (Letters, Directory,...) ?

No, the text is not merged at all.

It is not merging any of the hidden text. I am running a letter merge to

OK, but how exactly are you hiding your MERGEFIELDs? Also, are they in the
document body or in the header/footer?

I'm not sure how many different ways there could be to hide a MERGEFIELD,
but just selecting the MERGEFIELDs and hiding them here, then merging to a
new document seems to be OK.

I'm hiding them by selecting the text (including the merge fields) and
changing it to Hidden Text under font. They're not in a Header/footer -
that's where they started but took them out of the header and footer to see
if that would correct the problem but it didn't. This has been an issue
since Word 2002.

Thanks.

At the moment I am at a loss (in fact I'm at the point where I'm wondering
if I've understood what you're saying :-) ) because when I try to replicate
the problem, the field results are there, but hidden, as you might hope.
Click the show/hide formatting button on the Standard Toolbar and the
results appear/disappear as I expect. I'll see if I can have a look at Word
2002 and earlier.

Hi Cindy,

Try UNhiding the text, to confirm that it merges.

If that works, select the mergefield you want to hide, but DON'T format it as hidden. Instead:
.. press Shift-F9 to expose the field code, which will look something like {MERGEFIELD Data}
.. formatted the font colour for 'M' in 'MERGEFIELD' as the same colour as the background (eg white)
.. add '\* Charformat' to the field (i.e. {MERGEFIELD Data \* Charformat}
.. delete '\* Mergeformat' if it's there
.. press F9 to update the field.
Now run your mailmerge and everything should be OK. The text will be in your merged output, but won't be visible or print because
it's the same colour as the background. If you need to see it, simply change its colour.

Cheers

Hi Macropod. Thanks for your advice. Everyone is on the right page with the
problem.

I did test it and it does merge if the text is not set as hidden text.

As far as changing the color - I did think of that and in some cases, it
works great but in this case, the merge letter needs to be printed on
beige/linen colored letterhead and not having any luck matching the text
color just right.

I've done hundreds of merges like this and sometimes it works and sometimes
it doesn't. I haven't discovered any rhyme or reason for the issue. I've
searched for known bugs or issues with this but haven't found any. I've also
searched for settings that could cause the problem and haven't found anything
there either. Has anyone else had inconsistant results when merging using
Word 2002 or newer?

[Peter Jamieson]

For my part, the problem is that I don't use this feature, so I can't
possibly see the inconsistencies you are seeing, and as I've said, the only
tests I've done suggest that the hidden fields are merged to hiiden text.
However, there is at least one other such inconsistency (I can't remember
the details, but the language for merged texts is either not set or not
processed as some users hope).

However, macropod's post made me wonder whether what you really wanted was
blank spaces where the merged data would be (because although white
characters are not typically visible, they do occupy space). I also wonder
whether this is one of those cases where a particular approach might
/always/ work, even if it isn't quite how you want it. For example
a. create a character style called mystyle, ensuring that it is /not/ hidden
b. apply it to the "M" or MERGEFIELD and use the \*Charformat style as
suggested by macropod
c. merge
d. in the output document, modify the character style so that the text is
hidden or not hidden, as required. It might make sense to set up a macro and
toolbar button to do that.

That all seems to work here OK. What I haven't tried is starting with
"mystyle" set to hidden, and in any case, even if it works OK here, there's
no guarantee that it will work OK at your end. But maybe using a style
rather than direct formatting will make a difference to the overall
behaviour.

Just my 2C-worth. Away for a couple of days now...

Hi Cindy,

If the text is formatted as white, and the document doesn't have a background, then you won't see it in the printed document - all
there'll be is the space where the text belongs. If you don't want the space, Peter's suggestion might be the way to go.
