I don't believe the problem is to do with Vista, but I'm not in a position
to check right now. The trouble with the ADDRESSBLOCK field is that it does
not really work as advertised - users in the U.S., with U.S. Address lists,
seem to be able to use it without too many problems, but some of its
facilities do not apear to work as advertised. That's why people in here
generally suggest that you "use individual fields instead." Trouble is that
that is probably not going to help if you are mailing to lots of different
countries - there are several official layout patterns for addresses
worldwide (at least 8, I think). However, I suspect that postal services
will probably manage anything in latin script that has something like
name
Street address
City, region, postal code
Country
Even though the local standard may be different.
If you press Alt-F9 in Word you should see the field show up as {
ADDRESSBLOCK <a set of address layout patterns> then some switches like \d }
I do not think it will help to insert/remove \d but it is probably worth
trying.

I just ran the merge again and I noticed that the India labels were missing
the state. In excel there are LN, FN CO., ADDRESS, CITY, STATE, ZIP, COUNTRY
fields. the state cell for india is not printing but is putting a - in its
place.
Is the problem in the fact that I am using Word 2003 on a machine using
Vista as the operating system? Thanks.
