I am doing a mail merge on an Word document. Field1 is in the header, Field 2, 3, 4, and 5 are in the body. When I run the merge, I see that Field1 in the header still says "Field1". The fields in the body have merged successfully.

This merge is done from a Progress program. The program makes the .txt file to use for the data file, then invokes the Word merge.

(Progress is a database programming language. My question would be the same for any programming language.)

Do I need to do something special for the field in the header?

Thanks, Wayne
