convert numbers from data to text in Word
I hope someone can help. I have an Excel sheet with a column of numbers (12,
26, 24 or 52). I want the mailmerge to populate my template with a word (ie. 12 - "monthly", 26 - "bi-weekly", 24 - "semi-monthly", 52 - "weekly"). Is this possible or do I have to change the data sheet before merging? Thanks!

You can do it in Word by using e.g.
{ IF { MERGEFIELD frequency } = 12 "monthly" "" }{ IF { MERGEFIELD frequency } = 26 "bi-weekly" "" }{ IF { MERGEFIELD frequency } = 24 "semi-monthly" "" }{ IF { MERGEFIELD frequency } = 52 "weekly" "" } Where all the {} are the special field code braces you can insert using Ctrl-F9.
