I am trying to do an email merge in Word 2003. The
document needs a hyperlink to our website of the form
http://www.mydomain.com/xyz.asp?id={MERGEFIELD} but I
can't get the merge field inside the hyperlink.
Any ideas gratefully received.

In the mailmerge main document, Press Alt+F9 to toggle on the field codes so
that your hyperlink looks like

{ HYPERLINK "http://www.mydomain.com/xyz.asp?id= }

The place the cursor between the = and the closing field delimiter and
insert the mergefield. Use Alt+F9 to toggle off the field codes again.
