I created a word document that would merge with data from
an excel spreadsheet. The data will not stay in the
merged field. Each time I move to the next document in
the merge I have to select "toggle field codes" to get the
merged data to display. How can I fix this?

Version of Word?

If you actually EXECUTE the merge to a new document, is the
result correct?
