* '''Note''': Each ''Form Field'' on the MS Word Merge Document should be represented on a different line in the MS Word Merge Field '''Values''' section, and each line must end with a semi-colon.
* Any SmartSimple variable can be used to map to a Word ''Form Field''
* The sequence is not important, as the variables are matched using the bookmark name.
:* The only exception is when SmartSimple variables are merged to a Word table. See [[Including Tables in a Word Merge Document|this page]] for instructions on configuration.
* You can assign more than one field from SmartSimple into a single MS Word form field, and include other text and characters:
::''time=@starth@:@startminute@ @startpmam@;'' would display in this format: '''"12:35 pm"''' in the time form field
* You can include ''<!--hideifnotfound-->'' in front of variables that may not be present to ensure nothing is displayed, rather than the variable name.
* You can include HTML code embedded within ''<html></html>'' tags. The SmartSimple Word Merge engine will apply the HTML formatting to the value before merging to the Word document.
:* Note that HTML code will only function when merging to a single record, not for the [[Exporting List View Results to Microsoft Word|batch merge mode]].
* You can use the following special characters in this section to control the output on the MS Word Merge document:
:* ^p = Line break
