I am trying to create some custom merge fields in a Word 2003 document, but
have not been able to find a way. Can you help?

Instead of using the default merge field titles that are available, I would
like to create my own, based upon the particulars of my business.

You can name your mergefields as you please as long as they conform to the
naming conventions.

See the article "Creating a Mail Merge Data Source" at:
