I have created a document with form fields and check
boxes.  The document is used to inform vendors of the
reason their payment is being held.  All but two of the
reasons are checkboxes.  The other two reasons require a
checkbox and an explanation be typed in.  I have to create
at least 40 every month so I created mail merge fields to
enter the vendor name, contact person and fax number.  I
need to know if there is a way to run the mail merge and
retain the locked form fields in the merged document so
the that I can fill out the necessary fields for each
vendor.
