I have a client using Word 2002 in which we pass an ASCI file to Word for merging a document. Sometimes the header in the template does not merge the given data (although the same fields are used throughout the document and they show up). The header will print with the actual merge fields on it. This is not consistent; however, and if she exits and tries again, it works. Any ideas?

Hi Janice,

Use Alt+F9 to toggle off the field codes. It appears that sometimes it may
be necessary to open the Header and Footer pane to do this.
