I am with mail merge includes word with microsoft excel as my database. I have done this with years with no difficulties. Now, whenever I use mail merge in word the fields will automatically show up as track edit even though track changes the sour bad. After accepting the changes, track changes reappear when I go to finish and merge this document either as an email or a brand document. This hasn't happened in this past but has had knotty the past couple of months suggesting that ME made some kind of setting change recently. ME have tried changing various stuff to fix the problem with no luck. Whatever suggestions.

Thanks!
Aaron

Hi Aaron,

That really does suggest someone has edited the mailmerge haupt document with change-tracking 'on' or there remain changes in computer that haven't been accepted/rejected (or perhaps it's are saved with change-tracking 'on').

You can display the change-tracking state the Word's Job Bar.
