>If I have a line that contains both normal text and a merged field from the table it seems to throw things off, sometimes word-wrapping text to the next line.

> Name: <> Hip#: <>

>The text and data for Hip number can show up anywhere, even on the next line.

>The horse's name can be anywhere from 3 to 21 characters and that seems to me to be the problem.

>It doesn't seem to matter if I allow what I think is more than enough space between the first merged field and whatever is typed next.
