MailMerge Locked Fields

2003 Word mail merge doc with data source from text file (Access mdb export).
When I click on "merge to new document", I get an error: "Word found locked
fields during the update. Word cannot update locked fields." Microsoft
website says to unlock fields with Ctrl-Shift-F11. I did that on all fields
and I still get the same message.

I have one field - <<BadgeName>> followed by <<NextRecord>>.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Update - I had inserted a jpeg into the header and footer. When I selected
the entire document, including in the header/footer, and unlocked fields, it
removed the jpegs and proceeded with the merge without error. When I
selected the document but not including the header/footer, and unlocked
fields, the jpegs were retained but the error message still occurs.
