Microsoft Office Forums - View Single Post - [Solved] Appending a mail merge document to a static file

That suggests you have the documents organised the wrong way around - your ordinary document should be incorporated into the mailmerge main document, whether by pasting the content into it directly or via an INCLUDETEXT field. In this respect it is of no consequence whether the content from your ordinary document is incorporated before or after the mailmerge fields, or even before and after them. Simply incorporating a mailmerge main document into another document doesn't turn the ordinary document into a mailmerge main document and, hence, the mailmerge won't work unless the ordinary document is turned into a mailmerge main document by connecting it to the data source.
