title: MS Word 2010 mail merge: dynamic url, same text
body: <p>I have a MS word 2010 mail merge that needs a personal url as href and a generic title for all users</p>
  
  <p>i can send a url that displays as the full url, but i want a generic display text so users dont see all the parameters or a gigantic url</p>
  
  <p>i have attempted to first insert the hyperlink then ALT+F9, this did not pass the mergefield</p>
  
  <pre><code> {HYPERLINK "http://domain.wufoo.com/form1/def/Field1={MERGEFIELD id_number}" }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I then attempted after inserting the hyperlink to call a new field as the url, this did not remove the original inserted hyperlink as it seems to require a url value on inserting</p>
  
  <pre><code> {HYPERLINK {MERGEFIELD url} \* MERGEFORMAT }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I attempted to follow the instructions here <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912679" rel="nofollow">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912679</a> method #1 but the word 2002-2003 menus are different, i havent been able to insert a hyperlink without a url ('"Error! Hyperlink reference not valid" appears in the document.")</p>
  
  <p>I am just not sure how to go about this</p>
