Hi Mary, thanks for your help. The Mapilab didn't help, and I didn't want to
convert to Word.

I did however clarify the problem enough that I can actually use Publisher
email merge.

It appears that only the "last" merge field is not converted to data. I
added three fields , and the first two filled correctly with data, but the
other remained as a merge field mergefield.

It also appears that this is because I didn't "leave" that field. If after I
drop the merge field I click outside of the text box, even that "last" merge
field fills correctly.

Problem for me at least is resolved.

Again thanks for the help Mary.

uses Word without an issue.

Maybe merging the data field cells would be a solution for you.

There is a application that is linked from the Microsoft web site that could
be
helpful. It has a trial version. Looks promising.

Yes I did Mary.
I have the exact same problem as the others on this thread. I can add a
field from a database, and I can see it correctly in the email previews.
However when I send the emails, they all apear with the merge field name
e.g.
first name only instead of the content of the merge field "Phil" that I
saw a second ago in the preview.

I'm using Publisher 2007 with the e-mail merge feature. In the email
preview, all my records look fine. But when I send the e-mails, they
contain the merge fields themselves name company name etc
instead of the merged data. I have several merge fields inserted
throughout my text box.
The only way I got anything to work correctly is to limit it to one
merge field early in a small, separate text box. But I want to
insert
other merge fields throughout my document.
I am using Outlook 2007, however I have a specific list created for
the merge so fields are not being merged from Outlook.
