Default Mail merge "Greeting Line"

I have entered all the information correctly when going through the Wizard
but when the greeting line prints is does not print like it shows in the
Wizard.

Example: In the Wizard it shows it will print "Dear Mr. Randall" but when
it actually prints, it prints "Dear John Randall".

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Default Mail merge "Greeting Line"

Do you have a field in your data source that contains just the last name?

I assume that you are using the AddressBlock and other pre-configured merge
fields in your main document. Instead of doing that, just insert the
individual merge fields from the data source in the configuration that you
want them.

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
