Gary,
Does it need to be a mergefield? You can use bookmarks in a template document and update content as you wish.

>Hi Cetin,
>I'm in the position of having a production department create documents that go through an extensive routing process with layers of editors that look at how sentences break on the page, etc. They only work with Word docs they can edit and know exactly how they will look when finished (except for variations in merge outputs). That really prevents me from working with HTML docs etc.

A bit of a pain, but I could control everything!
