After entering some times in an Excel spreadsheet,
formatting the "TIME" column under the category of Time
and the "1:30 PM" Type and merging into a Word document,
the time shows as 1:30:00 PM.

Does anyone know how to get rid of the seconds
indication?  I noticed that MS shows this was an issue
with MS Works (see knowledge base 239208) but with little
success to a fix.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thx,
Steve

You might want to ask in an Excel group rather than a Word group.

Steve,

Use Alt=F9 to toggle on the field codes and add the following formatting
switch inside the closing } of the mergefield in the mailmerge main
document.

\@ "h:mm AM/PM"
