To format a phone number in a mail merge field, you can use the following steps:
- Open your Word document and navigate to the Mailings tab.
- Click on the Insert Merge Field button and select the field that contains the phone number data.
- After inserting the merge field, right-click on it and select Toggle Field Codes.
- In the field code, add the formatting you want to apply to the phone number. For example, to format the phone number as (###) ###-####, you would add the following code after the field name: \# "(###) ###-####".
- Once you have added the formatting code, right-click on the field code again and select Toggle Field Codes to return to the regular view.
- Preview your mail merge to ensure that the phone numbers are formatted correctly.
So, the correct code for formatting a phone number in a mail merge field would be:
PHP Code:
{ MERGEFIELD "PHONE" \# "(###) ###-####" }
Make sure to include the spaces and parentheses in the formatting code, and to replace "PHONE" with the name of your actual merge field.
