The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh versions 1.x, 3.x, 4.0, 5.0, 5.1

SUMMARY

Using the words “data,” “ask,” “include,” “if,” “endif,” “else,” “next,” or “set” as field names in a Microsoft Word for the Macintosh print merge data document will result in the error message “Field name may not be a reserved word.” This error occurs because these names are print merge special instructions. Once the field names are changed, the print merge will continue successfully.
