HELP! 2000 Word main document doesn't show merge codes in Word 200

[patlh]

Hi,

I got a new computer at work with Windows 2003 installed. I just went to edit
a main document created in Word 2000 and the main document shows up as
text -- I cannot see the fields etc., just a page-by-page version of the
document
as it looks when already-merged. It is the design of the main document that
I want to edit and I cannot find a way to view the merge codes.
What is going on?
Many thanks!

Pat

Are you 100% certain that this is a main merge document, and not a merged
result? If you press Alt+F9 do any { Mergefield } field codes show up?
