I have a database that contains a field that holds the code of a rtf
document I would like to merge tihis into word so that each page of the
merged document correctly displays the rtf document contained in each
database record .
if anyone knows how to do this or if this is possible please let me know.

There is no built-in way to include RTF directly from a merge data source
into a merged document - you have to export each chunk of rtf to an external
file first, then use INCLUDETEXT to insert the .rtf file. Using nested
fields, you may be able to arrange that the .rtf file associated with each
record in the data source is inserted at the correct place in your merge.
