Codes Stay

C

Hi,

I am using 'Microsoft Word 2003' in order to merge data into certain fields
from a designated database. However, my problem is that when a particular
field is blank with no information, 'Microsoft Word' shows the specific
mailmerge code for the field instead of leaving it blank.

How do I stop these codes from appearing on blank fields?

Thank you very much for your help.

Can you provide an example please? Is this mergefield in the body of the
document, or in the header/footer? If you start with { MERGEFIELD
fieldname } does it end up looking like <<fieldname>> after the merge?

What is the data source, and when you say the field is blank, is it a text
field? can you tell whether it corresponds to a NULL value in a database?
