One or More Templates Failed to Merge or Operation Was Cancelled

Issue

There are several possible causes for the following error message: One or more templates failed to merge or operation was cancelled:

1. Related to a bad merge field or mismatching TableStart and TableEnd merge fields in a detail region.
2. Data containing double quotes are being merged into a Microsoft Word IF Statement.

If the issue is with an IF Statement:

1. Remove the double quotes from the field.
2. Create a new formula field or DV0 parameter and reference the value of the existing field in a Salesforce SUBSTITUTE formula to remove all double quotes from the field value. Then reference the new formula field or DV0 parameter within the IF statement.
