http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/mailmerg.htm http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MailMerge The first is from David McRitchie and the second is by Beth Melton and Dave Rado.

Debra Dalgleish posted this: There's an article on the Microsoft web site that might help you: Answer Box: Numbers don't merge right in Word http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/as...164951033.aspx And if you prefer the old Mail Merge helper, Word MVP Suzanne Barnhill has instructions he http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/C...ngWord2002.htm about half way down the page. ========== I often cheat instead of racking my brain. I'll insert another column (probably hidden!) and use: =text(a2,"ddmmyy") or =text(a2,"mm:ss.0") or =text(a2,"00000") (or whatever format I want) and use that field in the mailmerge.
