locked merge fields

[BJ]

I have set up a 3 page document with merge fields in text boxes so they
"land" on the page in specific areas which correspond to a preprinted form.
When I send to print I get an error that says something like "Word found
locked merge fields" and "Word cannot update locked fields". What are locked
fields and how did they get that way? What does it mean that it cannot
update locked fields?

"Locked fields" are fields whose content will not be updated when you
update the field.

The following article provides some info. about locked fields when merging.
