MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / September 2005format telephone numbers Mail Merge
I'm creating labels using an Excel file for my database. I need to include a telephone number on my label. Since the formating in Excel does not cross over into Word, how do I get my label to show a telephone number as (xxx)xxx-xxxx or even xxx-xxx-xxxx instead of xxxxxxxxxx? In Excel go to: Format Cells Number Special Phone Number (US) Larry T. Hit send too soon, If the formating doesn't come over, then I would use multi cells with word providing the separators and spaces. LT See http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm and http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm The switch you require here is \# "(000)000'-'0000"  Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> > I'm creating labels using an Excel file for my database.
