Mail Merge Fields with multiple lines

[Dan Perkins]

I am trying to create a mail merge document that will allow me to use
multiple lines of text in one of the fields.

What I have found is that if I create the data document within Word, I can
take my multi line data and put it into a single cell in a table and that
will allow the merge function to properly handle the data.

The problem is that the data I need to merge is, and always will be coming
in from a text file. I need some means of specifying the beginning of each
field and the end of each record. Does anyone have any suggestions?
