The instructions say quite clearly that the field codes "are all created in the mailmerge main document itself, via Ctrl-F9 (Cmd-F9 on a Mac); you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this thread or another website." The instructions go on to say, "Nor is it practicable (for the most part) to add them via any of the standard Word dialogues." In other words, you can't do this via Insert|Quick Parts. Indeed, they aren't even mentioned as a possibility. Follow the instructions and you'll get the desired results.
