mail merging formatted content
A couple of things to try:
1. From the Tools menu in Word, select Options and then on the General tab, check the box against "Confirm conversions at open". Then, when you attach the data source to the mail merge main document, select the DDE option in the dialog box that will appear. 2. See "Formatting Word fields with switches" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at: http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm -- Hope this helps.

Doug Robbins - Word MVP "paulb" wrote in message news Doug You appear to be an expert and I need help! I have a column in excel with numbers and they are 12 digits long. Excel automatically formats these in scientific format. I have changed these formats into text, number accounting, custom, but when i mail merge the scientific format keeps appearing. I have saved the excel file each time I have changed. How can I remove the scientific format when merged into the word doc.

How do I start a new thread? I have a question about mail merge, but I don't even know how to start a thread in order to ask it. Can you please tell me how to start a new thread. My question about mail merge is: I writing a directory on names an address with two columns per page. I want the name to be followed by the address, but some adresses have two line to them. Therefore the names don't alsways match up on both columns. I think I need it to add an extra blank line for the names that have one address line. How do I do that?

The body of my message contains some formatted text and also few images. I changed my Outlook's Mail Format as HTML and MSWord as my email editor. When I send the messages through mail merge, the receiver's mail is in plain text. I also tried "Includepicture" field for images. Still don't work with mail merge. But, when I send a mail individually to them, the receiver receives the mail in HTML format. I also checked the recipient's property "Send email using plain text only" and it is checked OFF. Can some one please suggest me how to mail merge the formatted contents? |

mail merging formatted content
There is no 'Outlook 6'? Maybe you mean Outlook Express, which is something
entirely different? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Lana wrote: Hi im using Outlook 6 and i have no idea of how to set MSWord as my email editor!!!! could you please tell me how!!
