===Preparing Template for List View Export===
List View Export to a Word Merge field required the fields used be Word Merge instead of the old bookmarks which is described above. This method will also work for Word Merge fields used outside of the list view.
To ensure the list view export functions, fields must be created using the following:<br />
* In Word 2007 and higher, select '''Mailings''' from the ribbon menu.
* If you haven't already, click on '''Select Receipients''' then '''Use Existing List'''.<br />
:When the Select Data Source dialog box appears, select a blank Excel document (or any existing Excel document you have accessible). This will enable the required buttons.
* Click on '''Insert Merge Field'''.<br />[[Image: Word-mergefield.png]]
* Select the '''Address Fields''' radio button
* With the first field on the list selected, click on '''Insert'''. The selected field name will now appear within the document.<br />Ex. «Field_Name»
* You can now close this dialog box.
* To rename the newly added Word Merge field, right-click on the field and select '''Edit Field'''<br />[[Image: WordMerge-edit field.PNG]]
* You can now relabel the '''Field name''' with whichever name you wish to use.
* Copy and paste this field to other parts of your document and rename accordingly.
Note: If you do not rename the field, then the data merged within will be the same for all like-named fields.
