Hi Nit_Wit_400,

Simple: use manual line breaks between the lines for each entry, rather than paragraph breaks. If you format the paragraphs with
hanging indentation, you sould be able to have all the entries line up, too.

In my merge document, my fields produce hard returns for multiple
entries in my data sheet. For example:

a.) Acquired by MERGEFIELD1
b.) Liscensed to MERGEFIELD2
c.) Taxed by MERGEFIELD3

where MERGEFIELD1, and MERGEFIELD 2 has hard returns in its output and
ends up being:

a.) Acquired by Person
b.) Person
c.) Person
d.) Liscensed to Other Person
e.) Other Person
f.) Other Person
g.)Taxed by Last Person
h.) Last Person
i.) Last Person

How do I prevent those hard returns continuing the numbering, and from
changing the paragraph format? So it looks like this:

a.) Acquired by Person
Person
Person
b.) Liscensed to Other Person
Other Person
Other Person
c.) Taxed by Last Person
Last Person
Last Person

The reason I ask is that in my document, there is a certain format I'm
conforming to, and I can't have the merge fields tampering with them.
I've tried formatting the fields after a merge, saving as a template,
and remerging, and it still produces continued numbering.

FYI: using Microsoft Word 2003 and Excel 2003 as a data sheet
