I am frustrated that the order of fields in my Word 2003 data source is not
in the same order as the Access table it is linked to. Surname is good but
first name is way off to the right.

Is this a Word 2003 merge document attached to an Access data source? If so
then simply place the individual fields exactly where you want them - see
http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm
for background on merges generally.
