Spell Check ignores Mail merge fields

Spell check ignores mail merge fields because they are
set to "No Proof". I cannot perminantely set the fields
in the .DOT file.

I am using mail merge to develop correspondence letters
from my personal time manager (Chaos 32) and other
database records.

In MS Word 2000 (or 98 for that matter) I am unable to
shut off no proofing on the fields.

I have gone through the /edit/find/ no language and no
proofing and changes all finds to US spelling. Even
then, with deliberately misspelled words, the spell
checker will not catch the misspellings.

I would like to PERMANENTLY set up every mail merge
template I use so that the spell checker will check each
and every word in the document, without exceptions.

From a business standpoint this has proven embarrassing
to find a misspelled word left in the merged fields
because MS Word has declared these fields no proof and no-
language.

Can anyone help me?
