[AccessD] 2007 Word merge

John,
You should be able to open the document and right click a field(?) and click on properties.  When the properties form is displayed the Bookmark should identify where your program is getting the data.

Thanks for the reply Mark.  Two problems.  First this is office 2013, and second this is VBA. Isn't there somewhere you can go in the document (a properties box) of /something/ that just shows what this document is going to look for?

Google is returning about a bajillion "open the merge wizard" and leading me through creating a merge from scratch.  I have an existing document.  It pulls data from somewhere.  Since it cannot find its somewhere it opens a browser telling me to find its somewhere.  But I do not know its somewhere, the document does.

There HAS to be a way to just open the document /without/ trying to do the merge, and click on something that shows me in english language that this thing expects a file named xyz in location abc or something similar.
