Merge field syntax problem

[Resource Dragon]

I recorded a macro in Word, and this is what I got:

Sub Macro1()
'
    ActiveDocument.MailMerge.MainDocumentType = wdFormLetters
    Selection.TypeText Text:="Dear "
    WordBasic.MailMergeUseOutlookContacts
    ActiveDocument.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldMergeField _
        , Text:="""First"""
    Selection.TypeParagraph
    Selection.TypeText Text:="Test only."
End Sub

(The document that this produces looks like:

Dear «First»
Test only.

BTW, this code was recorded in Word 2007, I know that "WordBasic" is anachronistic but that's what I got.

I've also been going back to Word, to see what the Word help has to say, and the code looks quite different again.
