Mail Merge Question

While doing LABELS in mail merge, any zip codes that are more than 6
numbers (for example: 30308-1984) are showing up as a zero.

Anybody else come across this problem? My data file has a LOT of
extended zip codes and I'd rather NOT remove the last four digits.

Thank you!

Hi Cheusinger,

1. How is your source data formatted?
2. Does the whole field evaluate to 0, or is it simply (a) being
truncated or (b) giving some other invalid result?
3. What is your current mergefield coding?

Cheers

Well, I did indeed figure it out.

I went to "Options", then "General", and checked "confirm conversion".


Then when merging, i'm asked to "confirm the data source" and I click
on "MS Excel Worksheets via DDE".

Then I completed the merge and the zip codes were fine!

Thanks for responding, though!
