Default format the data fields in address box

I cannot click into the data fields to insert spaces or line breaks or
punctuation. Fileds appear in one long string separated by commas.

stay in one thread please.

Where are you seeing the field as one long string? Sounds like you're
talking about a csv file not xls.

Sounds like you have the address as a single multiline field. AFAIK,
Publisher cannot merge this the way you want. You need to split the
field into multiple fields.
