I am attempting to merge a SSN field from an Excel document into a Word
document. I understand I have to edit the mergefield to get the formatting I
want, but the attempts I have tried, haven't worked.
For example, I edited the mergefield with \# "###-##-####" This separated
the numbers in groups like I wanted, but the dashes are missing. Basically,
my question is how do I get dashes to appear in a mergefield?
Thanks!

Put a single quote either side of the dashes.
\# "###'-'##'-'####"

Signature
Hope this helps.
