I have over four different names I need to imput throughout the document. How do I setup the field codes permanently? So that all I have to do is put the information in the Excel Data Source and merge? Thanks When I setup Excel Data Source I can only put in one name <> at a time. I have over four different names I need to imput throughout the document.
How do I setup the field codes permanently? So that all I have to do is put the information in the Excel Data Source and merge?

You can lay out the data table on a landscape page if that make the columns easier to work with; the page layout and margins of the data table won't affect the merge, either. Good luck!

Hope you understand my question...I am pretty new at all this. Thanks.
