Hi,

I'm doing a simple mail merge envelope, and the zip codes
keep coming out as Zeros (all data is being pulled from
Excel), and when it mergers apartment numbers (like #3A)
it just shows up a 3A. What am I doing wrong?! I keep
trying different Excel cell formats.

Thanks!

It doesn't matter how you format the cells in Excel, Word merge only imports
the raw data. - See http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm
If you want to bring over the Excel formatting, you need to change the
connection method - see the Excel data section of
http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm
