I want to use a table that includes information from another table (in a
lookup column) for a mail merge. When I go to execute the mail merge,
instead of giving the data from the merged field as text, it imports the
numerical value of that field. How can I get the merged field to export the
text instead of its value?

What is the difference between the text and the numerical value of the
field?
