Thanks for your patience Doug - I'll just have to live with it meantime.

Is the Notes field a Memo field in Access? The div must be something
coming in from Access. My (very limited) understanding is that div tags
are some form of HTML wrapper, possibly in this case trying to convey some
formatting information.

Perhaps if you create a Select Query in Access as use that as the
datasource, the tags might go away.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Thanks.

Hi Doug, thanks for your response. My data source is an Access file
with
name, address, fields. There is a 'note' referred to at the bottom of
my
mail merge main document - this is the one with the problem. When
merged
all
other info is correct but the Note field inserts the correct
information
but
has div either side of it. I used the alt+F9 which shows all
commands,
then used alt+F9 again and the other commands are hidden - except the
Note
field. The 'Note' field was inserted in the data source file, as was
the
other fields.

What do you mean by a 'note' field? Word does not have such a Field.

Is it a field in your data source? If so, what type of data source is
it?

In the mail merge main document, if you use Alt+F9 to toggle on the
display
of the Field Codes, what do you see where the 'note' field is located?

I have included a 'note' field in my mail merge and it appears to
have
div
either side of it - the other fields do not have this. How can I
remove
this
from my 'note' field?
