Default Mail merge help

I am working on a simple mail merge from data I typed in a table. The data
will merge into letters addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Richard Smith in the
address block, and then Dear Richard and Sara in the Greetings block. I am
using the matching fields, first for the address block and it comes out fine.
However, when I switch to the Greetings block, and change the matching field
to Richard and Sara, then the address block gets changed to that also.
Whichever one I do last, appears for both.

Default Mail merge help

Instead of using those blocks, just insert the individual merge fields that
you want to use in the configuration that you want them.

Hope this helps.
