Hi, I am working on a word document with mail merge. The merged fields
are showing in the beginning of the document, and NOT showing in the
area towards the end. Is there a limited for merge fileds? My document
is about 5 pages long, has a quite bit of merged fields and form field.

I can see the merged field ( for example: <<name>>), but if I preview
the document, the merged file don't pull the data.

Thanks,
Tracey

Press Alt+F9 to toggle on the display of field codes in the mail merge main
document and confirm that you are really seeing a { MERGEFIELD name } field
in the area of the document where you are having a problem.
