Data merge breaks form fields

[Maurice Powers]

When using a Word document that contains both data merge fields and form
fields (where you click, and then begin typing appropriate information), you
cannot run a application.mailmerge.execute command. If you do, the form
fields no longer function. I have identified this issue in Word 2000 and
Word 2003.
