I have a very large document that contains both merge fields and form fields.
Is there a way to merge the document and keep the form fields? I have been
merging to a new document, is there anything I can do?

Thank you in advance for your help.

You have to use VBA, and it isn't particularly straightforward.

Microsoft's Knowledgebase has an article called

WD2002: Text Form Fields Are Not Retained During Mail Merge

at

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/286841/en-us

(This would probably apply to Word 2003, and there is a similar article in
the Knowledgebase concerning Word 2000)
