Hi Sonia,

Ctrl-A, F9 updates all fields in the body of a document. If you did that and nothing happened, then either:
• you're looking at your mailmerge main document and not the merged output; or
• there are no fields in the body of the document

As for the field code I posted not working for you, that suggests you haven't replicated all the field braces correctly. The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') in the field examples are created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message. Likewise, you can't type or copy & paste the chevrons (ie '« »') - they're part of the actual mergefields, which you can insert from the mailmerge toolbar.
