I have a standard letter to which i merge data stored in an acces db.
once merged i can not edit the merged letter , i can not insert the cursor
so i can not do anything.
However i have now found i can select insert date ,if i do this and then
undo the date insert and i can then edit the letter as normal.placing the
cursor where i like.
What do think is going on?
