How to stop all fields converting to text during mail merge??

[aaylett_...@hotmail.co.uk]

Hi all.

I need to mail merge a word docuement with information in an access
database and then allow users to enter subsequent information into the
remaining text fields (Word form objects).

Ie.

pre mail merge word document contains...

Field1 - linked to field1 in database ("fred" for example)
Field2 - blank ready for user entry post mail merge.
Field3 - blank ready for user entry post mail merge.

post mail merge word document (current)

"fred"
""
""

post mail merge word document (desired)

"fred"
Field2
Field3

The mail merge is straitforward but converts (to text) all the fields
on the form, not just those linked to the access database. Can I
specifiy which field to convert to text and which to leave as a Word
Form Object.

Many thanks in advance!
