Hello,
I have a problem that I'm creating Word stylesheets, but some of my merged fields need to go in the header of the Word document.
This looks fine on screen on the Word document, but when I print it it just prints the merge field names eg <<Sell-to Customer Name>> and not the actual merged data.
Can someone help me how to make this work and print correctly?
Thank you

Thanks Mahesh, maybe I'll just have to leave the header then! Instead then on each one we have just copied the header and pasted it back as text which is a workaround.
On the formatting - yes I select the merge field so it highlights then format it like you normally would in Word eg select 'sentence case' - but when you run the Stylesheet it doesn't pick it up. I am using Word 2013.
Thanks Mahesh
But I am finding that although removing and re-adding the field works normally, it doesn't work for me in the header of the document!
Also is there a way to make the merged fields pick up formatting in the Word document eg sentence case, UPPERCASE, etc? - I have tried formatting the merge fields like this when designing the stylesheet but the format doesn't come through on the actual merge.
Hi Threeea,
It's due to that format of the field in the word document. You may remove the above said <<Sell-to Customer Name>>, remove the unwanted space in between and try to place it again from Merge Fields, it must work. It works well.
Actually I've realised it's not just when I print - the same happens when I save to pdf or standard Word document (from the original xml output).. :(
