Problem:

I cannot use a field name set that uses an Ask statement in a merge document’s running head. When the Ask statement occupies the line above the running head (it must precede the running head to correctly set the field name), the running head does not print on the first page.

Response:

The running head must occupy the first line of the merge document to print at the top of the first page, but the Ask statement can precede the running head text and field name on the same line.

The following is an example of a paragraph formatted as a running head and containing an Ask statement (use chevrons in place of < > in the example):

<>Running Head Text < >
