For a better and far more comprehensive implementation, check out my Microsoft Word Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge Tutorial at:
http://windowssecrets.com/forums/sho...merge-Tutorial
or:
http://www.gmayor.com/Zips/Catalogue%20Mailmerge.zip
The tutorial covers everything from list creation to the insertion & calculation of values in multi-record tables in letters. Do read the tutorial before trying to use the mailmerge document included with it.

For some worked examples, see the attachments to the posts at:

Have you experimented with any of the tutorial's fields, simply copying them to the sample mailmerge main document to see how they work? The field structure in your document isn't anything like what the tutorial uses. Besides which, I don't know how you intend your output to appear.

PS: The fields from the MS website do work; they just don't do so as well as the fields I've crafted.

I think you don't try very hard. All it takes is copy/paste then change mergefield names. See attached.
