= SUMMARY =

Instead of using the Insert Field command in the Word Processor when doing a print merge, you can type a placeholder (the name of the database field) directly into your document. To do this, perform the following steps:


 * 1) Press ALT+174 (on the numeric keypad) to enter a left chevron.
 * 2) Type the name of the database field.
 * 3) Press ALT+175 (on the numeric keypad) to enter a right chevron.

Do not place any spaces or punctuation in the placeholder.
