Default Mail Merge problem

Hi,

When I tried to merge two fields that have multiple lines with '\n' (new
line control code), I got the following error:

"Data fields must be separated from each other by a character called a field
delimiter. Similarly, data records must be separated by a record delimiter.
Use the lists below to select the appropriate delimiter."

I am using "^" as my field delimiter. As long as all the fields that I
merged only have one field with multiple lines, it will be OK. If I have
more than one field that have multiple lines, I will get that error.

Any idea? Thanks in advance.

Eric
