I am hoping someone can help me on this. When I put together a merged letter it works fine. All of the merged information appears in a gray box. Next, when I am attempting to print the letter the gray shading will also print. I have tried everything to get the gray not to print. Can anyone help me on this, please? Thank you.

- 1. Can default format for recipient's name be changed?
Is there any way to reset the default recipient name format to the one that is most frequently used? When creating a mail merge and inserting an address block, a default value for the recipient's name, consisting of the prefix, first name, last name, and suffix is highlighted (e.g., Mr. Joshua Randall Jr.). Selecting a different format is a simple process. However, if a different name format is selected, and then further changes are made to the mail merge (for example, match fields are inserted), the newly-selected name formatting is not retained, and the format is reset to the default formatting. - 2. Mail merge order of labels 5160
Is it possible to change the order of how the labels are set up? Mail Merge default is across/down. With the new Easy Peel Labels, I want to change the order to down/across. Thank you. - 3. voting buttons to a mailmerge?
Can we add voting buttons to a mailmerge? If so, How? - 4. Removing orphan bullets
You should be able to do it during the mail merge process if you use If...then...Else fields constructions to check for the presence of data in the mergefields. -- Hope this helps.

We use a MS Word form to collect information from our internal customers. They complete the form then email it to us. We use that data to create contract documents by cutting and pasting (or worse, re-typing) the information into various contract templates. There are about 20 data boxes on the form, and most are required information for to have to complete the contracts. We have a number of contract templates and select the appropriate one based on the situation. It seems like there should be an easier way of moving data from one document to another. Is there an analogous way to mail merge to pull data from the completed form into a selected template? Any ideas or suggestions appreciated. Cliffordjf

1. try switching off field highlighting in Tools|Option|View. 2. if you are in Word 2002 (and possibly 2003) and you are printing from Normal view, try switching to Print Layout view (on the View menu) and see if that makes any difference. Peter Jamieson

Sounds like you are not actually executing the merge, but are just printing a preview of the results. Turn on the mailmerge toolbar by selecting Toolbars from the View menu and then check the mail merge item and then use the button towards the right hand end of the toolbar to execute the merge to the printer. -- Hope this helps.

2.How do I get the merge fields to not print gray
Office 2003 professional I created a standard word document with merge fields from an access database. The merge fields appear with a gray shading. When I print preview they still show gray and when I print the gray shading prints. The setting in Tools/options/view/field shading is set to never. This is not a form; just a document. Office 2000 does not show the shading but that is at a different location so I have to use Office 2003. Is there a bug in 2003? David

5.Sorting in Mail Merge Helper is Grayed Out - Inaccessable
Hello, I am having dificulty sorting a mail merge document (before I actually merge the information to a new document). I am using MS Word 2000 with Win 98se and merging from an Access address database. I do the beginning steps to set up the merge, insert my fields, and then click on "Mail Merge Helper." Then by the big Number 3 I click on "Query Options," but only the "Filter Records" tab is accessable. The "Sort Records" tab is grayed out. I have saved the Access file with the sort options that I want, but whenever I start a merge it is not sorted the way Access sorts all of the records. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks.
