Using Word & Excel 2003.  When we try to merge data from Excel that has been
formatted as $1,500 it merges into the doc as 1500.  We've tried everything,
from reformatting the cell back to General then reapplying Currency, and even
retyping that particular cell.

character strings containing spaces, dots, minus signs, apstrophes,
etc, these single characters, or sequences of these characters, are all
converted into a single underscore in Word fields.

I understand how to do mail merges...but once the merge is completed all the
letter or labels, etc would appear in the same file. I want to save each to
different files. HELP!

Okay, I have been all over the place trying, or I should say leaving messages
asking for help. I have a post in one of the other groups here also, but
thoguht i'd give it a shot here.

gone smoothly except I have not discovered a way to get the return address on
the envelope. A window comes up allowing separate font ...

I upgraded to Office 2003 and now when I try to merge records from an Excel
DB into a main WORD doc, I get the message "Merged field is used in the main
doc but it does not exist in the data source."
This merge worked just fine hundreds of time in Office 2000.

Can anyone tell me if there is a repeat until loop function in MS word.
I'm referencing an Excel database and I've got this at the moment.

blank space in the first line of my first field (name in this case).
I've checked for indents, hanging indents, etc. and everything looks fine.
Any ideas.
