Thanks Peter. I believe that my data is coming from a stored
procedure, so i may be able to modify the query as you suggested. The
spec changed a little from what i had originally and being that i am
new in word merge, what ways could i use to format it 123-45-xxxx? If
you could give me an alternative or two that would be great. I will
try to modify your examples that you already gave me and see if i can
figure it out as well.
