fields not displaying correctly in email merge
When creating an email merge document I have previewed the emails and they
appear correctly with names inserted as expected. However when I perform a test run on selected recipients the name field appears as field rather than the actual name. Any help would be appreciated. |

fields not displaying correctly in email merge
Are you doing a test print? What version Publisher are you using? What do you
see when you do a print preview? Are you merging from Outlook? -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Arena Lounge" Arena wrote in message ...

fields not displaying correctly in email merge
I am running an email preview in which everything looks fine. But when i send
to a test group of subjects instead of Dear Joe it comes up Dear name in the actual email sent. Publisher version is 2007 (trial version). I am using a specific list created for the merge so fields are not being merged from Outlook. I had been adding the field directly into a text box along with the body of the letter.I have just attempted another variant to achieve the same result by adding a greeting line in on its own and this appears to be working when sending the live email.

There is a 256 character limit in a merge field. Were you treating the letter as
a field? Looks as though you have everything under control.
