One of the most useful features of Word Mailmerge used to be you could write
the letter then drag the merge field names into the appropraite place in the
letter. With Word 2003 you seem to have to choose all your fields then drag
them one by one to the right place. Is there a way around this? and why fix
it when it wasnt broken!!
