Hmm. Then I suggest sacrificing a chicken to Baron Samedi, while chanting the ancient prayers of guidance to the motheboard spirits. But before you do that, take of the cover and squash any gremlins you see, with a wooden mallet.

No, you missed the T2-reference.

What Art of War-reference, by the way? I haven't read it, but can't see anything that would seem to fit in.

No, you missed the reference.

"Bob's your uncle."
"Who's Bob?"
"He's your uncle."

I guess you guys don't get mediocre Wesley Snipes movies over there.
And the chickens. Those damn chickens.

Code: Select all

{ = AVERAGE ( { MERGEFIELD "FirstNumber"}, { MERGEFIELD "SecondNumber" } ) }
I have no much of idea, but usually equation symbol is going first. Other common problem are separators, it must be used the one which is set in 'Local Settings' (generally it's only between colon or dot, yeah function names can be also localized)
Did you tried to look in the help file (F1 or Shift+F1 and click on the function)?

Any slight change can made it, though I have no idea if you are updating from some old template or just 'filling'. I expect the second case to be more close to the truth however :D

Art of War is a book, by Sun Tzu. If Snipes have made a movie of it, I don't want to see it.

It's your standard counter-terroist agent-esque film. It's a decent flick if you are bored.

Localize function names?? Hopefully it's not the case, my Word is in English.
Help is not of much help, I'm afraid. I searched there before asking here.

What do you mean by "filling"?

I currently meant by filling that you created these fields by yourselves :D

In fact it never happened to me to stumble upon merge in Word. Although did you specified a data source? (ie from which fields it should be merged, usually list from somewhere else)

Here are some helps to this, exactly here, with some more explaining links at the end.

Thanks Pol, I'll see what I can do. :)

(Yep, I did specify a data source. Actually it's the first thing I did when creating that document.)
