I have a user with Word 2000. She is using a mail merge form letter with the
data source of a word table. She clicks the edit data source button and
enters the data, some fields require name, etc. some require "x", dates and
some remain blank. She clicks ok to close the window, does the merge to a new
document and some of the data she just entered does not appear in the merged
letter. She reopens the data source and notes that the information is no
longer in the data form, reenters it, remerges the letter and everything
works fine. This doesn't happen everytime or with every mail merge document.
Anyone else that uses these letters has no problems. Anyone have any ideas???
The inconsistency of this happening really puzzles me.
