--this script uses the the first record of a mail merge file (giving the names of the corresponding fields) to name each background field. For straight text files, the user can edit the textfile to include field names, separated by tabs, such as in the example below (exported datafiles could be surrounded by quotes if a field contains commas). After setting the field names, the script chooses the field tool to allow the user to resize the fields, etc.
