Excel text not showing in Word mail merge
Using 2003; have a spreadsheet I have used in a Word mail merge. One column
of the xls file is for the grade of school student is in (1, 2, 3, 4, K, P1, P2). When viewing the xls file in Word, the column is showing the 1, 2, 3, and 4 but is putting 0 for the K, P1 and P2. I've tried changing the xls file formating on the column to General and Text but nothing seems to help. |

Excel text not showing in Word mail merge
From the Tools menu in Word, select Options and then go to the General tab
and check the box against the "Confirm conversions at open" item. (In Word 2007 it is Office Button Word Options Advanced General Confirm file format conversion on open). Then when you attach the data source to the mail merge main document, you will be given the option of using the DDE method of connection which should read the data as you have it formatted in the table. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Deanna wrote: Using 2003; have a spreadsheet I have used in a Word mail merge.
