Default Formatting a merge field that contains both text and numbers

Hi Drew,

Mailmerge can't do that. You'll need to separate the data at its source and merge just the part you need.

I have a field that merges both text and a number to my document. I'd like
to supress the number and keep the text.

I'd like to go from this:
Text-123-45-6789
to this:
Text

Any suggestions? Thanks
