Chevron Symbols Cause Works to Default to Print Merge

SUMMARY

If you enter a matching pair of "chevron" symbols (that is, <<>>) in a Word Processor document, Works defaults to the Print Merge option when printing that document. This problem also occurs even if there is text between the chevron symbols. Note that Works will NOT default to Print Merge if the placement of the chevron symbols is reversed, or if more than about 155 chevrons symbols (including letters/spaces) are used consecutively (this varies depending on the font used).

Chevron symbols in Works indicate field information being merged from a database into a form letter or envelope (for example, <<Field1>>). Thus, when Works encounters these special characters on the page, it defaults to Print Merge when printing the document.
