Hi,
I'm using Word 2002 on XP
I have a list of people's names that get merged into a sinlge document. I
then print out x many copies of the document have to manually go through the
sheets and highlight each person's name so their copy has their name
highlighted.
Is there a way I can get word to highlight (simple grey is fine) one field
at a time as it prints thereby saving me from having to do it with the
highlighter? This would mean that if I printed 50 sheets the first would have
the first merge field highlighted and second sheet the second name etc.
Thanks
Jared

Nothing built into Word that would do this; you'd need a macro (VBA code).
