Example

If the active document includes at least one mail merge field, this example displays mail merge data from the first record in the attached data source.

If ActiveDocument.MailMerge.Fields.Count >= 1 Then
    ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.ActiveRecord = 1
    ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = False
    ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.MailMergeDataView = True
End If

This example toggles between viewing mail merge fields and viewing the resulting data.

With ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View
    .ShowFieldCodes = False
    .MailMergeDataView = Not .MailMergeDataView
End With
