MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / April 2007Leading whitespace in data being stripped out
We just upgraded from Office 2000 to 2007 and our merge data that started with a tab character now seems to be ignoring\striping the leading tab character. This character is used for formatting. How do I get office 2007 to not ignore\strip leading whitespace characters? Kevin Bilbee I would suggest that you put the tab in the appropriate place in the mail merge main document.  SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Sometimes ther is data infront of the tab. So placing the tab in the document will not work. The places this happens we are prefomatting multi-line data so it will wrap properly on the page. Any other suggestions? Kevin Bilbee >I would suggest that you put the tab in the appropriate place in the mail >merge main document.
