Default Mail Merge Fields Show Up As Track Changes When its Turned Off

I am using mail merge in word with microsoft excel as my database. I have done this for years with no problems. Now, whenever I use mail merge in word the fields will automatically show up as track changes even though track changes is turned off. After accepting the changes, track changes reappear when I go to finish and merge the document either as an email or a new document. This hasn't happened in the past but has been problematic the past couple of months suggesting that I made some kind of setting change recently. I have tried changing various things to fix the problem with no luck. Any suggestions.



Thanks!
Aaron

Hi Aaron,

That really does suggest someone has edited the mailmerge main document with change-tracking 'on' and there remain changes in it that haven't been accepted/rejected (or perhaps it's been saved with change-tracking 'on').

You can display the change-tracking state on Word's Status Bar.
