I then book marked them, and went to format/font/hidden . . . worked perfectly. Names are still in the background but are not visible.

That is NOT how to do it. If your output was showing both the original output and the modified output, all that means is that you've left the original mergefield in the document alongside the one in the IF field. You should have replaced it with the field code as per the coding Graham and I posted.
