Message: [QUOTE="Peter Jamieson, post: 5595711"] If you want to make it work, move beyond "wizards" etc. - like "gurus", as long as they know the one thing you needed to know but didn't, they can be useful useful, but after that they can often get in the way. Useful tools are a. looking at your fields using Alt-F9 b. testing your fields using select, then F9, the Alt-F9 if necessary to see the results c. checking, e.g. to make sure the syntax of your fields is completely correct, e.g. no spaces that should not be there and so on. So, e.g. with you mail merge main document open, use Alt-F9 to look at the underlying field codes. What do you see? With includetext, the problem is sometimes that there is a space before the file name, e.g. you might have { INCLUDETEXT " c:\\abc\\def.doc" } when you need { INCLUDETEXT "c:\\abc\\def.doc" } Peter Jamieson [/QUOTE]
