Hi,
I have a letter that contains several text form fields. This document also has mail merge fields in the header.
I need to perform a mail merge to insert addresses in the header, but I need to KEEP the text that is in the text form fields (it provides a guide for what the user needs to put in that field). However, when I perform a merge, that form text disappears. If I protect the document, I can't perform a mail merge.
The final product will be a series of form letters to be used by several locations of our office. Each location will get a letter with their address in the header, and then they need to be able to fill in those form fields in order to send this letter to a customer. I would rather not have to manually enter the address for each location into the header. I thought a mail merge would save time... instead I'm tearing my hair out trying to make it work.
Help?
I'm using Word 2003 and Windows XP.
