Altering the order of an address in 2003

[Richard]

I have recently upgraded from 2000 to 2003 and I am using
mail merge for the first time in 2003. I have created my
own address list within word and I have entered company
names. When I did my first merge I noticed that the
addresses in USA had the name and then the Compant and in
Australia it had Company name first and then addressee. I
therefore unticked the box that says "Format address
according to destination. This resulted in all adressees
having the company name first. Unfortunately what I was
trying to achieve was to have the persons name and then
the Company name. Can I do this?

The simpleset way to create a data file in Word is to create a table.

Instead of using the "address block", insert the individual merge fields in
the postions/order that you want them.
