Merge fields shows different tag

D

Dandelion

in my document i have a Mail Merge field that shows a
«Brk_name_street»

When I alter the field view the following code shows:

{ MERGEFIELD Brk_name_street_no \* MERGEFORMAT } this is the correc
value for the field

The problem is that I need both the «Brk_name_street» and th
«Brk_name_street_no» fields eg. { MERGEFIELD Brk_name_street \
MERGEFORMAT } { MERGEFIELD Brk_name_street_no \* MERGEFORMAT }

when i perform the merging the new documents contain two times th
«Brk_name_street» values

Anyone an idea??

Almost certainly you are using fieldnames that are too long and Word is only
seeing the first part of the fieldname which is the same in both instances.
can you change the datafile to alter the fieldnames?
