Merge without any errors but when I print, you cannot see the merged fields.

Thanks in advance for any input.

What is the data source? If it is SQL Server, you will get blank data for
any fields which are defined as having Unicode data types.

Otherwise, if you are merging to an output document first, can you see the
merged fields there (and in Print Preview) ?

If you are not, try merging to an output document first.

Weird! No ideas on that one at all. Here, I'd probably assume a Windows
memory problem and shutdown/restart, and/or check for document/application
corruption.

Tried that already! If I print current page it works so it does sound like a
memory issue. I'll try shutting down other applications.

Thanks anyhow

Formatted/picture bullets can be a real drain when you're merging - if you
have any of those, ditch them!
