But your process isn't using mailmerge, so why are you using mergefields? What you're doing is a total misuse of them. If you're not doing a mailmerge, you should be using bookmarks, or maybe even content controls. As it is, though, automating a proper mailmerge might significantly simplify things. Nevertheless, whether you use mailmerge or some other form of automation, you'll need to parse your value data after it appears in the document.
