I created a mail merge file several weeks ago and have
been using it successfully. I have to add and update some
of the merge fields, but for some reason, I do not have
access to the "insert mail merge field" function on this
document. It's grayed out on my menu and on my toolbar
and I cannot edit the fields. Any suggestions on how to
enable this function would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Barbara,

Are you sure that there is a datasource attached to the document? Some of
the other buttons on the toolbar will not be enabled until there is.

Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be
interested. Questions sent directly to me will only be answered on a paid

Hope this helps,
