I am trying to create a directory merge and have some questions:

1. Is there any way to have merge fields a header? I am merging from a db which is managing the export/merge operation and handing the desired fields to Word (Word 2002). I have put the fields in a header, but only the field names, not the variable database data, result in the finished document.

2. I am placing the information in a table. It looks like the only way I can predictably format the borders of the table is to select "all," i.e., lines between and around all of the cells. Does other formatting--like only above and below each row/record--have to wait until after the merge operation is completed?

3. Why does LISTNUM work but not SEQ? SEQ does not advance; all rows are numbered "1."

TIA.
