MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / March 2008New Bug (Word 2003) - Record number shortened to 2 characters in Mailmerge
This has been introduced recently but not sure in which hotfix/service pack. It is happening to multiple clients across multiple sites. When looking at the record number in the mailmerge toolbar, only the first two characters show. So for example 110 will show as 11, 1200 as 12. Customizing the toolbar and making the text box wider has no effect. This issue has been reported widely on the Net but I have yet to find a solution. Any ideas: JJ It was the SP3 update, and there isn't a solution short of uninstalling and re-installing without the SP3 update.

Actually - on one of our sites it has happened and they are not on SP3 yet. So I think it's one of the post SP2 hotfxes too. As a known issue I'm surprissed that MS haven't at least issued a KB about it. >> This has been introduced recently but not sure in which >> hotfix/service pack.

I have not personally updated beyond SP2 for this reason. Whether Microsoft sees this as a priority for a fix I wouldn't know.
