Date Line Lock

[Scott Graham]

I am wanting to lock a date field on line 16 within all my mailmerge
documents which i merge from a certain database. I incert certain client
addresses and although they may differ i would like the Date to always be on
line 16. is there a way of locking the date on this line in all mailmerge
documents but also leaving it able to update the correct date?

Thanks

You could use an Advance field with the \y switch to force the date to a
particular position on the page.

Otherwise, it depends on the exact layout of your document and what is being
merged into it.

Hi Scott,

You could use a table, with each of your merge fields positioned in the
relevant cells.

Cheers
