I am creating a word document in Word 2003 with fields merged from an xcel
spreadsheet. The phone number is a 10 digit text field in the spreadsheet.
When merged into the word document, it still appears as a 10 digit text
field, example 0000000000. How do I get it to look like a phone number in
the word document, example (000) 000-0000?
